Swype? The latest and greatest on touchscreen typing?
by snoyt
The T9 inventors developped a new, fast input system for touchscreen typing. Tweakers.net a dutch site has a interesting post about it right here, but it's in dutch. In short, you simple drag your finger from key to key instead of actually typing, simply swiping. Hence the name Swype. Shapewriter that exists for Android, Windows mobile and the iPhone does something similar. The next youtube video give a nice impression about it.
I liked the concept - I have found a program called SlideIT with the same concept and more features even I think, and is allready out to the public unlike Swype, here it is:
