The Thumb elevates iPhone typing

Posted Wed, Dec 3, 2008 6:05 PM by Sam Gwilym
Recently we reviewed Typing Genius, which was one of the first apps for the iPhone that let users practice their touchscreen typing skills. However, there is a new typing tutor on the block, going by the ominous moniker of The Thumb.

The Thumb ($0.99, App Store) by the ImageBakery is much like Typing Genius, with quick typing exercises and statistics on how your typing fares over time. But The Thumb has one trump card over Typing Genius, and that is its sugar-sweet, customizable interface, which evokes odd sensations of playing Nintendo's Wii Fit, for those familiar with the console exercise game.

Sometimes, it's very hard to describe an interface using only the power of words, so here's a video that explains virtually everything.
