Hello Humanoids . Its time to have a look at Next - gen technology in mobiles . This is the age of Touch Screen Mobiles, leading the pack is iPhone 3G . But here is one application from the T9 fame who could be on every touch screen mobile possible :
What is Swype and what does it do ?
Swype works with an on-screen QWERTY keyboard like you have on the tablet version of Windows and on the iPhone . But instead of tapping letters out, you press your finger or stylus on the first letter, then, without lifting it, move it to the remaining letters in the word. When the word is done, then you lift. In other words , Swype allows you to type out your text messages by connecting the dots. All you need to do is put your finger or stylus on a touchscreen keyboard, and “Swype” it along the word that you need to spell.
Features of Swype :
So who developed this thing ?
It was developed by Cliff Kushler, a developer of the T9 text entry system that most of us use on our text messaging in order to avoid hitting the same button more than once for a different letter.
Current Platforms they are working on :
The development team is focused on Windows Mobile (smartphones) and also the tablet version of XP and Vista, and Surface . They are planning to develop for Linux and Symbian platform as well .
Is it as simple as it sounds ?
After observing some videos i have observed 1 most important thing : The frequency of typing the letters and the results was approximately 21 words per minute which isn't impressive and to improve this you need to practise hard at this !
Here are the advance keypads in Swype :
The biggest Problem for Swype :
Firstly , the name itself ,I thought it was some Skype product but then when i did read about it ,I came to know it was a great product .
Personal Secret : every time i tried typing Swype , i mistakenly kept typing Skype ! It was truly annoying :-(
The biggest challenge is convincing the users to use their products instead of the default ones , which is very difficult indeed . If Swype does have few talks about getting into as a default application , then only it can survive .
Great , so when is it going to be publicly or officialy available ? :
Have no idea to be honest , but you can do a self help ! Just register yourself here and get to know when it is coming to a device near you !
Here is a video from CNet which explains it all :
So thats all from the world of Mobiles and its technology ,
Do bring in your views about the changes from T9 to Swype and of course the Evolution of Mobiles !
Take care ,

But according to Skype : Swype is faster than existing text entry methods because it has built-in intelligence that does not require users to hit each letter accurately. Also, tracing a smooth, continuous path is much faster than “target-tap-lift-target-tap...”. Even novice users can quickly achieve sustained data entry speeds of over 40 words per minute.
