Swype is the new QWERTY concept for onscreen typing on a mobile device. In what promises to be a revolutionary method to input text after the original T9 (incidentally by the same inventor).

Android users need not be disappointed, Swype for Android will also be available in early 2010. And to entice you further (apart from the original video demoing Swype) here is a video comparison of Swype vs the iPhone qwerty. Of course I can type a lot faster than what that guy (gal?) on the video below does, but this seriously builds up the hype before the janta gets hands on with Swype. So will Swype live up to the hype? (more…)
