Mobile phones with QWERTY keypad is most popular nowadays and some dont know what is a QWERTY keypad...
So this is a Small article by me about QWERTY Keypad...

I am not saying that your article is wrong. But this information is freely available everywhere - hence my comment.

I made similar comments on such posts from others too. These are rather "useless" articles and having these posted during contest is detrimental to the spirit of the competition.

Please post something unique, new, path breaking with own views, experiences, etc. And this is the message to all contest participants.

Rehashing text from different websites is hardly the way to go. This is what I call as "clever plagiarization".

I agree it is popular but its hard to imagine anyone looking for this information... every one knows what a qwerty keypad is.. The contest is about creating the highest number of threads but if we had some meaningful threads that would be of some use to those who read.. Its a general remark not particularly targeted at you.. Please do not take it personally..

Short extract:

...... To address this, Sholes had an ingenious idea.
He discovered that many English words contained combinations
of letters next to each other in the alphabet, for instance
ABBey, DEFEct, HIGh, etc.,which occurred frequently.

With the help of a teacher
called Amos Desmore, Sholes determined the combinations
that occurred most frequently, split them and placed the
component letters far away on the keyboard of his machine.

And this is how the QWERTY layout was born.
(The layout is referred to as “QWERTY” because of
the arrangement of the keys in the upper row).

As a result of this rearrangement, the keys that were
used most frequently were not as easily accessible
to the typist. Thus, the QWERTY layout effectively
reduced the speed at which human users could type,
thereby preventing their jamming the mechanism too often.....
