Swype: Predictive keyboard
Swype demoed their predictive keyboard on a Tablet PC as well as a cell phone.
Very cool.
This would be something I’d really like to try for myself. I never quite caught on with T9, but the predictive typing on the iPhone I’m hooked on. This appears to take the concept one step further.
One point: I wonder if you’re using a resistive touch digitizer if the predictive technology works fine if you accidentally release touch pressure during a swipe motion.

I have seen the video and I must say, I am impressed.
But there is still no download option and it’s just a video. So I looked more into it because I got fascinated by the video and I found this keyboard called “SlideIT” from the company “Dasur”.
It uses the same concept, and while I haven’t tried Swype, I can say this is truly amazing, revolutionary, innovative and whatever word you want to choose. SlideIT also has a working demo for windows pc and a purchase option if you like it.
Try it here:

I can’t wait to see Swype out there so I can try it too. AMAZING technology!
