i dont know what "hunt-and-peck" menas, i'm not native english speaker
but i see it means "swype" tehnology. So, its easy to do. Hardest part is accuracy algorithm and dictionary database

While Swype have apparently already said that there's nothing in the pipeline

As for swiping being not a big issue to implement and the algo being the big deal: yep, that seems likely. I wonder what's possible.

So this is already even bigger than I thought, in that many people really, really want this, and discussions are ongoing at Swype, Jolla, Twitter and elsewhere.
However, TMO is still a great place to discuss stuff, so I think this thread still has value.

I have to say that When I have to write something on Jolla Is like hard work! Not to mention long emails and passwords.
That was enjoyable with SWYPE
Can't wait we'll get swypelike on our JOLLAs

(but it's not as good as the original yet)

Sorry for this lame teaser.
I'd like to release this as an open source project, but at the moment i'm not comfortable with the patent issue (i'm interested in any advice on this topic)
I live in a country outside the US (and without software patents), so should i just find a code hosting service with no relation with the US ?
Maybe i am too paranoid
