Let’s face it. The default SIP in Windows Mobile does not really help with efficient text entry. If you want to do it relatively fast, you will most probably have to use 2 hands and if you want to use it with 1 hand, chances are, your entries will most likely be slow or not even accurate.

Over the years, many companies have tried to come up with a SIP that is both efficient and reliable for 1 handed operations. Even device manufacturers such as Eten have tried their hands with their EasyKeyboard but in my opinion, nothing comes close to HTC’s T9 input.

However, we now have a new choice when entering out data with TouchPal. It claims to be a fast, easy and convenient sot keyboard. I’ll let the video below explain more about the SIP.

The first thing that struck me when I saw this SIP was the keyboard of some Blackberry devices. At 300 characters word per minute, you can definitely get a lot of text entry done with this. Plus the fact that you can rearrange the keys to suit your style is really an option that is missing in many SIPs out there.

Whether it lives up to its claim is entirely up to the user. It will definitely take some getting used to. Why not give it a try and let me know. For now, you can download it for FREE but do hurry because I have no idea when that offer will end.

What do you think of this SIP?
