The Flick Key App Features the World's Tiniest Keyboard

— July 12, 2011 — Tech
The Flick Key app is unique in its class, as it is the world’s smallest keyboard. The keyboard features six keys that resemble square blocks and each block has nine letters. The idea behind the app is that this will create a faster and easier typing experience, especially for those with electronics with smaller screens.

Product reviews have in the most part been positive; as with anything new, you just have to get used to the product. This Flick Key app is revolutionary because of its size and its functional value for smaller-screened products. If calculator watches come back into style and have texting capabilities, this would be first on my list of things to get.
Trend Themes
1. Micro-keyboards - The trend of creating micro-keyboards for mobile and wearable devices, such as the Flick Key app, presents opportunities for developing disruptive tech that makes typing easier on smaller screens.
2. Simplicity in User Experience - The trend of simplifying the user experience, demonstrated by the Flick Key app's six key design, presents opportunities to develop products that streamline user experiences for mobile and wearable tech.
3. Texting for Wearables - The trend of making texting possible on wearable devices, as shown by the Flick Key app, presents opportunities to develop disruptive tech, including new types of messaging and communication tools.
Industry Implications
1. Mobile - The mobile industry can capitalize on the trend of creating micro-keyboards for smaller screens and wearable tech by developing and marketing new devices that offer better typing experiences.
2. Wearable Technology - The wearable technology industry can take advantage of the trend of simplifying user experiences and making texting possible on wearable devices by creating more intuitive and easy-to-use products.
3. Communications - The communications industry can capitalize on the trend of making texting possible on smaller devices, like the Flick Key app, by developing new messaging and communication tools that are optimized for mobile and wearable tech.
