Thats a good idea, and I am working on something similar, just need to test it.
I think that instead of forcing an old interface where it does not belong, the interface should be designed with usage in mind.
Example: no matter how cool it looks, there should not be a Qwerty keyboard on a PDA, palm-sized device, Origami for primary input. It is insane to think that a kb layout that was designed for maximum inefficiency is helpful. tengo does not bother much, because it is not really a qwerty layout. I think its a great way to get people to not rely on a qwerty.
Fitaly is good.
a split thumb qwerty keyboard is bad. if it was not qwerty, but had a layout designed for being split w/ 2 thumbs, thatll be different.
