Regarding a software implementation of T9, I believe there are some intellectual property obstacles. A similar discussion appeared on the Slim Devices forum, where a member suggested using T9 technology for item selection on the Squeezebox music player. If the concept had been legally clean, I'm sure we'd have seen it in slimserver by now. Bummer... :-(
Maybe this link has some clues?

There was something about GTK in it.

This looks like just the ticket, but appears to be just a tad bit spendy. Looks like it should work with Marvin, but I'm not sure I'm willing to drop sixty-five bu' on it to find out it doesn't.
If I had another use, like a PDA, I'd go for it. But my PDA-phone already has a thumb-board.
Anybody tried one of these with an N800?

While researching the Mini Freedom thumbpad I ran accross this: http://freedominput.com/site/index.p...d=13&Itemid=30 . Sure does look slick, but at this point it's only available to OEMs, and other than it's SPP I can't tell what kind of interface it's got.

If you read those reviews they actually think the actual device is great if you want a keyboard that size, but that a so small keyboard is no easy thing to master. The second link especially rate it very nicely at 4/5.
Just so no one gets turned away from this keyboard without actually reading the full reviews...
