The folks at the app judgement show on the Revision3 network hold a text-off.
The rules: Who can type the sentence “The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog” the fastest on their mobile device.
It begins with the first mobile typing device, a typewriter!
A few info nuggets:
“Words Per Minute” is generally the standard used to measure the speed at which someone types and according to a study quoted by Wikipedia, the “average” typing speed for the average “fast”, “moderate”, and “slow” typists is 40, 35, and 23 words per minute respectively.
Also according to Wikipedia, the average professional typist reaches 50 to 70 words per minute with some up to 120. Arguably the fastest sustained speed recorded for 1-minute of typing is 216 words per minute.
