Xrgomics: TenGO, A Revolutionary Text Input System Launched SINGAPORE--July 21, 2003-- TenGO's Innovative Design Creates A Keyboard Consisting Of Only Ten Keys; Frustration Of Typing On PDA's Small Keys Now Solved With TenGO Xrgomics, a company that specializes in Human Interface Technology (HIT), today announced that it has officially launched its patent-pending mobile text entry technology, TenGO(TM). The solution directly targets PDA users who find text entry via small keys frustrating, slow and tedious. TenGO uses larger buttons for its text entry, yet does not compromise on the display screen area, and also retains the conventional QWERTY keyboard layout. Ken Tan, founder and CEO of Xrgomics, said, "The PDA and mobile device market is one of the hottest consumer demand areas. One of the key factors to further accelerate adoption and growth in this market is to have a very efficient text entry solution that can deal with limited space, and yet not compromise on ease-of-use or prolonged text input." Ken also added "The market is ripe for a best in class text entry solution that has the opportunity to become the de facto standard for mobile devices. Even more significant to consider is that widespread adoption of this solution could further catalyze the growth and proliferation of mobile devices and their usage. The release of the downloadable TenGO soft keyboard version for Pocket PC users at our website www.tengo.net is the first step in achieving this." A Beta version is also available for Palm users. TenGO technology requires only 10 keys for text entry yet retaining the same look and feel of the conventional QWERTY keyboard. TenGO can be implemented as either a soft keyboard implementation or as hard buttons making it device agnostic and ideal for various mobile applications such as PDAs, Smart Phones, Wearable Computers, Assistive Devices, web TVs and Special Communicators. TenGO aims to make text inputting on mobile devices simple, easy and fluid, fundamentally changing the way we work, communicate, and play.
