Windows Phone Thoughts: Don't Type in Text, Swype It

"Swype provides a faster and easier way to input text on any screen. With one continuous finger or stylus motion across the screen keyboard, the patented technology enables users to input words faster and easier than other data input methods-at over 50 words per minute. The application is designed to work across a variety of devices such as phones, tablets, game consoles, kiosks, televisions, virtual screens and more."

We're always wishing for better methods of inputting text - I personally struggle getting any significant speed with on-screen keyboards, and always opt for a hardware keyboard. But after seeing Swype demonstrated, I think they might be on to something. There's a slight learning curve, but not much - check out the video after the break and let me know if this is something you'd like to see on your next Windows Mobile Professional smartphone.
