[Maemo 5] [Request] Swype
 
there is a function on many android phones and some of the nokias(5233 if im not mistaken)

on the virtual keyboard you can drag the stylus on the keyboard and it will recognize what word you are trying to write like a swipe word complete(dont know the technical term for it)

searched the forums and didnt seem to find this particular feature any where..
any chances it could be made available for the N900

thanks

Re: Swipe
 
+1 for this. i love using it in nitdroid, so fun! :D
its spelt swype by the way, with a y.
but your only option would probably be to email/ask the swype people to port it to maemo.
