Texting with your thumbs on the Pocket PC has never been so easy
Singapore - Xrgomics (pronounced Zer-gore-mix), a company that specializes in Human Interface Technology (HIT),
looks set to capitalize on the success of their highly raved soft keyboard technology, TenGOTM, today officially announced the launch of TenGO ThumbTM for the
Pocket PC (WM2003 OS). With the popularity of Pocket PC Phone editions increasing, the ability to type easily with one hand or text with fingers and thumbs on the Pocket PC becomes important.
Utilizing the successful TenGO engine, Xrgomics continues using the simple QWERTY design of 6 large main alphabet keys, except that the keys now are even larger to make it thumb friendly.
Six thumb usable keys for typing means typing could easily be done with one hand much like a mobile phone. To top it all off, TenGO Thumb now comes with eye catching graphics.

which is to develop a phone friendly version of TenGO." He also added "The simplified 6 key layout makes TenGO ideal for thumb and finger input and the utilization of the QWERTY
arrangement means 2 thumb typing becomes quick and easy."
