One of the most successful innovations in touch screen typing is Swype (www.Swype.com). The idea behind it is simple: you put your finger down on a touch screen and drag it from letter to letter. Even if your accuracy is off, the program can make excellent predictions about what you meant to type. A developer’s kit for Android was released in February 2010 and some are using Swype typing on their phones. In addition to Android, Nokia and Samsung are testing this technology. Video below demonstrates Swype typing. A comparison shows that typing with Swype on Android phone is faster than typing on iPhone. Some experts say Google may buy out Swype Inc.
