BlindType vows to autocorrect all wrongs with your iPhone or Android virtual keyboard Wow, this is an impressive system: forgiving of “fat fingers” and amazing word prediction.

Run iOS and put a multi-touch screen on it and lose the trackpad and you have it. Sell it for under $1000. Better yet, allow [...]
