Video: Blind Type allows you to type without looking at your screen.

But here’s one that’s tackling a problem I never thought software could tackle: Blind Type makes it possible to type on your touch screen phone without looking at the screen.

When I read that I was like .. yea OK ..    “…makes it possible to type on your touch screen phone *without looking at the screen* then I thought, let’s see them pull this off.   Either click the article link above or click here for the video…

Real deal or mock up / stunt?

Can “an app for that” simply be a shortcut to a webpage?

And if so, open in a new browser (or tab).

Can a webpage in 2010 provide enough functionality to be better or just as a good as a desktop app (or mobile app)?

How about allowing it so the end user can make these choices and reap the rewards (or deal with the frustrations)?

Which uses the least battery? A fully functional dynamic website with ads + API tie ins? Or a stand alone application for that same website?

If you can answer these questions, hit the comments =)
