Minuum keyboard challenges the QWERTY layout

Toronto-based startup Whirlscape not only wants to replace the native keyboard on your Android device, they want to change the way keyboards look by completely disregarding the QWERTY layout. The three rows layout is gone and it has been replaced by a single line of letters. The app compensates for the inherent imprecision of typing the layout brings about with an intelligent prediction algorithm that figures out what you are typing at the same time minimizing the number of taps on the screen. Its compact design even leaves you with more space to see the displayed content.

Minuum is currently available on the Google Play Store for $3.99.
