very interesting, but I don’t agree with you

Hi :)

I don’t think this is possible because the graphics are designed for only this layout and this amount of rows.
So I think the only alternative is to switch to the Symbols layout and pick the number there.
I’m not sure though, you might try contacting Vito to see if they have a technical solution that I’m not aware of. :)

Suggestions are always highly appreciated! Since I’ve gotten my new device I stopped testing all kinds of software for a while. It’s like when I got a new Nokia phone a couple years back: the first couple of months I’d be extra careful, and then after a while I started to be more easy with it, throw it from one hand to another when I’m bored, etc. I don’t throw with my PPC’s, but if I have the device a bit longer I’ll probably start trying more software again. But I’ll defenitely remember your recommendation, and of course your suggestion could be very valuable to other readers of this review as well. ;-)

oh ok, well I read about PCM Keyboard on the Solsie.com blog which you also post on, so I thought you’d also try it out.

If you ever want to try out another SIP I’d HIGHLY recommend PCM Keyboard. It’s got an excellent predictive text system so that you don’t really need to look at where you’re typing. You can really get a touch-typing feel down after a little while. And if you have several predictions you can just hold down on the suggestion and a drop-down list appears ^_^

Anyhow, I realize I might be sounding pushy here — but you seem like you enjoy trying out different pieces of software (like me!) and so I thought I’d make a suggestion.

Cheers!

I’m afraid I can’t comment on that, never used CM keyboard… Also I never use the word predictions because my device is in Dutch and I often type in English :p. But the idea seems pretty similar, right? You’ll have to see if ZoomBoard has enough advantages for you to justify purchasing. ;)

Hey Stefan,

how did you like Zoomboard compared to PocketCM Keyboard? Iv’e been using PocketCM for a few months now and am pretty happy with it — I just wish I could figure out how to make my keys a bit bigger.

But how did you find the typing speed was on Zoomboard vs PCM? There’s no predictive text so it looks like you have to be pretty accurate (I tried the demo for a few minutes)
