Digit Wireless, Inc. (www.digitwireless.com), the innovators of Fastap� - a patented keypad design technology, and Zi Corporation, a technology company delivering intelligent software-based text input and interface solutions, announced today an alliance to offer mobile device manufacturers enhanced text input and service discovery solutions in 60 languages. The alliance allows Zi software-based interface solutions (eZiText�, Qix� & eZiType�) to be offered across all implementations of Fastap, including Alphanumeric (alphabetical, qwerty, semi-qwerty) and Press-to-ExperienceTM layouts. The ZTE D-Series EVDO phones, scheduled to ship in the second half of this year in North America and other parts of the globe, will be the first phone to offer the two companies� combined offerings. The 3G mobile device will offer Zi Corporation�s eZiType predictive software along with Digit Wireless� Fastap keypad in its full alphanumeric implementation, simplifying the text input experience for users. In all Latin character-based languages, Fastap enables stylish mainstream phones to have one letter per key, solving the ambiguous text entry problems posed by standard 12-button phones. Designed specifically for non-ambiguous text entry, eZiType text entry solutions provide for accurate word, next word, slang and phrase completion. The eZitype software also has the ability to learn from a person's usage patterns and new vocabulary. The combined Fastap and eZitype solutions provide faster and more efficient text entry through truly predictive one-touch entry and word completion. Mobile users around the globe can benefit from multiple language mainstream devices featuring Fastap and eZiType. The flexibility of both technologies leads to the perfect balance of mainstream, stylish form factor phones (flip, bar, slider) with the functionality mobile users crave. �Fastap�s innovative keypad solutions significantly enhance the keypad interface for Zi�s supported languages. This becomes particularly important for many of the world�s developing markets - most of which have languages with long alphabets and require laborious multi-tapping to enter text into a mobile device,� said Milos Djokovic, president and CEO of Zi Corporation. �Our entire portfolio of intelligent text entry solutions will be made significantly more efficient with the ergonomic efficiency and simple ease of use Fastap keypad technologies bring to mobile phones.� �Fastap is an innovative approach to keypad design that broadens the scope of what subscribers can do with their mobile phone in any of the world�s languages. Fastap keypad technology offers many more usable keys in a small space allowing us to offer a unique opportunity to mobile device manufacturers to create small, mainstream stylish phones with a complete, one character-per-key alphanumeric keypad,� said Mark Connon, CEO, Digit Wireless. �Digit Wireless and Zi each provide elegant solutions to the text entry problem. Combining our respective expertise to provide an even more powerful solution should be exciting for those who are looking for ways to encourage the use of anything from SMS to today�s more advanced 3G data services.
