Can we also have a physical keyboard with just 11 keys on it?
Sure; physical chording keyboards have been around for decades: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chording_keyboard
I don't think any method of input that relies on auto-complete, suggestions or predictions can ever reach the utility of a physical keyboard. Also, most people have invested years learning the normal qwerty keyboard, I don't see how people would be willing to adopt anything new unless it's better in all cases (including corner cases like !/\{}[]), or they have absolutely no choice (T9). The only way I could see any i…
It seems that at least every few days I get an Email like this.

Indeed, they are called Stenotypes. Court reporters write on them at rates of 180 wpm, real champions reach twice that. But this ASETNIOP that's sold here says that experienced users reach just 80 wpm. What's up there, is it poor design?
I'm surprised that they emphasize the fact that the keyboard can be invisible or small. Personally I think that's the most confusing feature because it leaves you tapping on the screen, or website as in the video. That aspect to me is not very intuitive as to whether or not I'm typing currently or trying to navigate the website by tapping a link, etc. Also, if it's invisible, how do you know when the keyboard is brou…

Autocomplete is a bugbear of mine, since it's the fastest way to type on a touch keyboard and people have a bad habit of not proof reading stuff that they are sending. It seems that at least every few days I get an Email like this. Subject: Very Important! Sent from my iPhone

I suspect the lack of any tactile/haptic feedback introduces a small refractory period between keys/letters.
But then when you think harder, a big design flaw is that you need to put ten fingers on this keyboard to locate the keys correctly. You will have hard time use only one hand, let alone two fingers.
