Jonathan Aquino did a wonderful job comparing Fitaly and Atomik, two alternative text layouts which are both aimed for faster text input on PDAs and other devices with pen-based interfaces. In fact he wrote a script in Groovy (never heard of thatlanguage before!) which calculates the gestures required for entering the words in Textware's Dom Perignon IV Speed Contest.

Looks like Fitaly is the winner with a close margin between 2 and 4 percent.

Also check out these two related posts:

- various statistics posted by Fitaly, of course suggesting that Fitaly is the winner here

- James Kendrick's closer look at "Shark" incorporating the Atomik key layout.
