Minuum keyboard first made its rounds in the IndieGoGo scene in the early part of last year. They raised $80,000 during their campaign and have had a pretty successful run since. Minuum is an interesting keyboard replacement that takes up less screen space, increases typing efficiency and just plain looks cool. Assuming you are willing to spend the time needed to learn it and use it. With its minimal approach it is pretty much the perfect keyboard replacement software to grace devices with small screens. With smartwatches starting to take a bigger hold in the market, it only makes sense that Minuum is looking to bring their application to a wrist sized screen.
This morning Minuum sent out an email to its original backers announcing a new
update to the app in the Play Store. The update fixed some Android 4.4 issues, memory leaks and a number of other things. It wasn’t the update to the Play Store app that was particularly of interest, it was the sneak peek at the keyboard up and running on a
Samsung Galaxy Gear. Take a ‘watch’ of the video to see it in action.
Pretty intense, right? We don’t have any idea if this is just a proof of concept that it will work, and work well, or if the Minuum guys are gearing up to release the keyboard for Gear owners. Â
Digital Trends has reached out to see if they can get the skinny on the situation. Until we find out the plans for Minuum on the Galaxy Gear, let us know if you are even interested in this making its way to the Gear or not.
