What people are saying about Siine Writer, part two

Wall Street Journal 

“There is another way. Rather than trying to be a keyboard for every occasion, Siine is designed for speedy instant messaging, when users often find themselves repeating the same phrase over and over again. Icons represent those repetitions. And it has a few other neat tricks such as a clock for easy entry of time information.”

New Year - new features

It’s probably slightly too late to wish you all a happy new year but I’m going to do so anyway, if only because it gives me an opportunity to introduce some intriguing new features we added to Siine Writer over the Christmas period.

First of all – and nothing to do with Christmas I’m afraid - Siine Writer is now finally available in Spanish. (You can get it from the Android store here: http://bit.ly/zDYpNn)

We’ve always said that we want to open up Siine Writer to as many languages as possible, so this is a really important move for us. We’ve already had support from the Spanish-language media and it is exciting to open up Siine Writer to the 400 million people who speak Spanish as their mother tongue. Bienvenidos.

Siine Writer is looking for Pioneers

Siine Writer is the first icon-based touchscreen keyboard for Android. We have just released an updated free beta of Siine Writer (Pioneer edition).

We plan on releasing a commercial version in November and would like as many Pioneers as possible to check out the free beta before then. You can download the app on the Android Market by following this link: www.goo.gl/NFXao

Before the big release, we will be constantly updating the Pioneer Edition – so we can develop any idea you may have.

Tech Crunch

Think there’s only one way to type on your phone? Think again...  It takes a while to get used to Siine, but once you do you start seeing the potential of the app rather quickly. I suspect it could be a hit with the teen crowd.

Siine launches the iconic keyboard into beta

Siine Writer is a unique keyboard that makes touchscreen communication more personal, colorful, and fun.

Siine Writer contains not only a normal keyboard of letters and numbers, but also screens of special icons called Siines, which are tapped to build messages phrase-by-phrase.

These customizable typing icons can be tapped multiple times to “intensify” a phrase.

The Siines they are a-changing

Yesterday saw us release some cool new features for Siine Writer Pioneer Edition.

I’d like to say we celebrated by going out for cocktails but we contented ourselves by updating the Android Market page – you can see it here if you’re interested.

So what’s changed?

Let us introduce some new Siines

An important note

If you download Siine Writer you may see a default note in your Android phone settings, warning that Siine Writer could be used to collect personal data.

Don’t worry. Siine will NEVER store or use your personal data unless you SPECIFICALLY allow us to (for example on the Installation Wizard). 

So why the note?
