Whenever I explain my #research at Google into mobile text editing, I'm usually met with blank stares or a slightly hostile "Everyone can edit text on their phones, right? What's the problem?"

Text editing on mobile isn't ok. It's actually much worse than you think, an invisible problem no one appreciates. I wrote this post so you can understand why it's so important.

But where's the APK is the most pressing question I have after reading ;) Seriously, what's the deployment model? While with Google it will be matter of their careful costs and benefits analysis with user ergonomics not necessarily being a priority, it could catch up with Android distributions such as Murena.
