The article in the Sydney Morning Herald:http://www.smh.com.au/news/mobiles--handhelds/in-japan-cellular-storytelling-is-all-the-rage/2007/12/03/1196530522543.html
Another piece in Techcrunch: http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/12/02/in-japan-half-the-top-selling-books-are-written-on-mobile-phones/
And my blog post: http://funnymonkey.com/yeah-ban-cell-phones-really
And with that said, I do see different methods of composition coexisting for many years to come. But, it is interesting to hear of people bending the definitions of what we think is possible.

Subject: Re: Is Typing Speed Important Anymore
Small pad texting skills are useful for jotting the short note to someone,
but I'd hate to be even trying to write this email message using that
method. Not to mention the fact that I seem to recall hearing something
about a thumb version of carpal tunnel from too much texting.
For the foreseeable future, the standard keyboard is still the way to go for
getting large documents done. And let's not forget that handwriting has not
totally gone the way of the horse and buggy (oh wait, we still have horses
and buggies). They can all peacefully coexist for a long, long time.
