Swype, new type of input method
 

Read here, and watch the video: http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2009/11/...sung-omnia-ii/

It has something magical to it actually, and looks quite incredible.. :)
It will probably have a learning curve, but trying a moment on my flat keyboard, it doesn't look too difficult..
Dunno, anyway, really curious.

Damn... implement this in maemo, and you have a true magic.

looks cool

It's an interesting idea, and I'd like to try it out. The demo though shows so many failures of the prediction engine, I suspect I'd be unable to use it. I've found each such failure breaks my train of thought, so I always end up disabling prediction on any device I use.

I'd challenge anyone to come up with a version that would accept a bilingual Maltese and English dictionary (used simultaneously of course :D)

LOL the return of the stylus:D

Re: Swipe, new type of input method
 

So that people searching (googling) for this thread will find it: it's Swype.

I saw their original demo on the web about a year ago and wrote them requesting they port it to Maemo. (Of course, it ain't gonna happen.)

What a godsend it would be with the N8x0's stylus keyboard, which isn't even included in Maemo 5 or 6 :mad: / :( . I wish Nokia would fork development and have a resistive screen as well as capacitive in the upcoming Maemo 6 era, and that it would offer the resistive hardware with a stylus keyboard and Swype.

obviously you dont need a stylus.

However, just having such a keyboard as an option would be GREAT and should' nt be that hard...

With a great success of the N900 there will be an app around when time comes.

Very cool indeed! I encountered SlideIT too, and I really liked it, you can try it too:

I can't try Swype since it's not even out yet.
