Your Humble Editor is a big proponent of mobile computing, but the mere idea of programming Java or C++ on a T9-compatible keyboard (the kind of keyboard where the number "2" is used for a, b, and c as well) is horrifying. Even digraphs (where multiple characters are used for single characters - such as "<%" for "{") would be hard to use!
That said, there had to be demand for this
somewhere or else nobody would have written it. Anyone willing to provide use cases for it?
