The Minuum Project has achieved such international buzz that even the news of a beta launch from Whirlscape Inc. without a firm date generated media interest.

Mobile Syrup, one of the first technology outlets to report on the company’s Indiegogo campaign, filed a post on next week’s beta release launch by Ian Hardy on June 14, 2013:

Toronto-based Whirlscape developed Minuum, the one-dimensional simplified keyboard for smartphones, tablets and wearable technology. This idea gained a great deal of attention back in March when they went live on crowd-funding site IndieGogo. […]

Those who backed the initiative were promised early access to the beta app for Android sometime in June. Minuum seems to be on track as we’ve been informed that the beta app for Android is scheduled for release “early next week.”

Whirlscape is a University of Toronto Early-Stage Technology (UTEST) start-up company.
