Device::KeyStroke::Mobile
I' made a new module entry on CPAN: Device::KeyStroke::Module
NAME
Device::KeyStroke::Mobile - Calculate key stroke times with mobile phone
keypads
SYNOPSIS
use Device::KeyStroke::Mobile;
my $typing_times = calc_keystroke('example.com');
DESCRIPTION
Device::KeyStroke::Mobile is a module to calculate how many times you
need to type keypads in mobile phone to build a word. For example, when
you type "example.com" with a mobile keypad,
e: 3 3
x: 9 9
a: 2
m: 6
p: 7
l: 5 5 5
e: 3 3
.: *
c: 2 2 2
o: 6 6 6 >
m: 6
you need to type keys 21 times.
This module would be useful when you conider taking a new domain name
which is easy to type with mobile phones.

now that I'm out of the us and in a part of the world where SMS is far more useful and used I might actually be able to use that for something. However, one thing to consider is the range of models of mobile phones and how they treat the special "." character as I don't think it's the same on a lot of them and not on my Nokia.

you haven't seen some of these new phones over here...and custom keymaps sound like work :) Maybe I'll just wait for the voice recognition to come up to speed.

oh, duh :) Hmm...it still may be some work but maybe less than reprogramming the phone prom :)
Re: Device::KeyStroke::Mobile (Score:2, Insightful)
Maybe it would be useful to add another metric that adds a weighting for consecutive letters that occupy the same key and which require the user to pause as the letter is accepted.
For example it takes longer to type "monom" than "minim" although the number of key presses is the same.
