Quite interesting. I tested Shark maybe a year ago.
I can remember that one of the most infuriating "collisions" was between "to" and "too". The problem was that there was no method of indicating the double "o". Has anything been improved?
The other problem was the character set. It did not include the full Latin 1 character set - let alone Latin 2, Latin 3, or even more. In other words I cannot write German, French or Spanish - quite apart from the fact that there was no dictionary available. What's the reading on that?
And one last point. Apart from iQwerty - which seems to be the ideal layout solution for the majority of English speaking users - have you investigated iDvorak?
