[QCWA] Cell vs Morse, Part II

[Pete Kemp]

The famed Leno Cell Phone vs Morse contest, spawned a new cell phone app.


"Now you, too, can whoop your 13-year-old opponents in
a tete-a-tete Morse versus SMS showdown, thanks to the
new Morse Texter app created for Series 60 phones. It
simulates telegraph text entry by mapping dots and
dashes to the phone's arrow keys."

 From a web log post:

I love the power of weblogging. After reading my post (and Paul's, who it 
seems came up with the idea in January) about how Morse Coders beat 
Texters, and how someone should come up with an app that simulated 
telegraph text entry, someone named Hugo just left me a comment that he 
whipped up a prototype called Morse Texter for Series 60 phones that did 
just that!

I like the innovation on the data entry as well, so you don't have to 
"time" the dahs and dits:

     Left arrow - Dot
     Right arrow - Dash
     OK key - Space

     C key - Delete last letter
     Call/green key - Send as SMS
