Today, after a long time (I Still don’t have time, wait for September!)… I’ve released the first Moko Touch (Developer) Snapshot. Below you can see a screenshot of the MokoTouch Website that is available here: http://th30z.netsons.org/mokotouch/.
Now you’re able, to develop your app, interact with accelerometers handle some gestures and load it from the homescreen. Now There’s to add a lot of UI Elements, and IPC Services for Notifications and other nice stuff!

Today, I’ve spent half of my day to do something for the “Moko Touch” Project. I need a simple keyboard that I can use without use a stylus or a toothpick. I need something “Bigger”, so I’ve made a couple of experiments and this is the “best” result. Maybe it hasn’t a great look’n feel now but it’s really usable.
Vertical Keyboard (480x295 px)
The concept is really simple. Use less space as possible for the keyboard and use the “Maximum Size” available for the buttons. And as you can see with just 12 buttons you’ve all your Letters, numbers and Symbols in the smallest usable space (480×295 px for the Vertical Keyboard and 640×195 px for the Horizontal Keyboard).
Horizontal Keyboard (640x195 px)
But as always there’s a “Bad side”. You’ve to tap twice to pike on key, for Example: Tap on “QWER” button on the “12 keys keyboard” a 4×4 box will appear, and you’ll have to tap on the key to select it. So for each letter you’ve to tap twice. But maybe there’s no type mistake even if you’re using your phone while you’re running 
This is just the 1st concept of the Moko Touch Keyboard. If you’ve ideas to improve it, send a comment or a mail. It will be really appreciated. Thanks!
