1. To input double letters you just have to make a little circle on the letter you want twice.

There is definitely a learning curve but after a few minutes of fooling around with it I was getting the hang of it. As an aside, the software is also available for tablet pcs.
Cool feedback. Thanks.
I'm still not sure I could get the hang of it, for the reason #3 indicated. Even the iPhone can be a bit tough for me, as touch typing in the traditional 8-finger plus thumbs fashion is essentially second-nature at this point, so even typing with two fingers is a bit confusing. Going to a full swipe would confuse me to no end.
Ultimately, I view it a little like the multitouch interface someone posted a few weeks ago. Very cool, interesting, groundbreaking, but when I see it I realize that my old ways just aren't necessarily going to be relevant in a few more years. The same way I get frustrated watching my Dad putz around on the Internet is the way my now 7-month-old daughter is going to huff when I'm impossibly slow and error prone while using the mindphone and holodeck.
