The point is that we are gradually seeing more and more models coming. Above all, we hear and read a lot of news about new models that are advertised and very interesting concepts for the future. All this, plus the very success of this technology raises many questions. One is how the Smartwatch will cope with text input, and when we talk about screens less than 2 inches, having a keyboard looks very complicated. Let’s see what the options are.
The first is really simple, and which have turned the popular Pebble watch electronic ink or the new Samsung Galaxy Gear. What these two clocks is directly not allow text input via keyboard, blocking what they see as impossible to accomplish that end up getting complicated life more than we can facilitate the choice. It seems absurd, but it is a choice like any other, and at least initially see many manufacturers who use it.
Another option is why it has chosen Omate TrueSmart a smart watch that incorporates Android 4.2 inside. This allows you to install any keyboard TrueSmart of Google Play, so we’ll have the same options as a smartphone. And is not it very uncomfortable to use Swype or SwiftKey on a screen 1.54″? Indeed it is, a lot. What really looking Omate allowing installation of keyboards in their TrueSmart not we use those mentioned above or other vintage keyboards, if not encourage developers to solve the problem posed in this article.
With the ability to install any type of keyboard from Google Play are encouraged to raise more seriously the real need or not to enter text on a SmartWatch, and gradually see new options. As has already happened and as happens every day, developers do not cease to surprise, and a matter of time before someone comes with a great idea.
It may not be the ultimate solution, and I actually seeing gives me the feeling of being somewhat complicated to use, but it’s all about try. The key here is that gradually appear better options, and over time we will see if the solution to type on a keyboard on a SmartWatch is viable or not.
But possibly the most viable of all the options for entering text in a SmartWatch either through voice dictation. Android is getting better, and the strangest of this will speak to watch James Bond style. Who knows, as just getting used to something that sounds as weird as that, time will tell.
And finally remember that these devices are usually always compatible with Bluetooth to be in contact with the phone, so you can always connect them and use an external keyboard for writing.
