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.

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 )

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 / . 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.
