Swype gesture keyboard
 

Ok. I was pretty set on the Touch Pro, but then this came out today:

http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/09/09...ed-data-entry/

Now I'm debating myself. It would appear I could probably type faster, and all things considered, I probably used the keyboard "rarely" on my PPC6700. A keyboard is way nice to have, but only because it was the fastest and most reliable way to get text entered. The softkeys on iPhone and Winmo gave me wrong letters too often to be able to get any speed going.

Re: Swype gesture keyboard
 

WOW gotta admit that thats pretty cool :headbang:. BUT theres no way that thats faster than a physical keyboard or even an on-screen keyboard. its a great thing to show off to friends as a novelty at best. i dont see myself swiping at letters to form words and having that be faster. most ppl that are use to texting on a device with a physical keyboard are speed deamons and multi taskers.. its a good try but no practical :angry7:

Re: Swype gesture keyboard
 

I am a big soft keyboard fan but this one does not impress me. Maybe there's something better that will come out than this to have glass typing faster.

Re: Swype gesture keyboard
 

That is DEFINITELY an AWESOME concept! I bet its a bit difficult to do it without a stylus, but nonetheless I WANT IT!

Nice find!

Re: Swype gesture keyboard
 

I agree with you 100%. At first I was like damn, thats pretty cool but its actually pretty slow compared to how I use my keyboard on my mogul. There is no way someone would be able to out type me using that thing.

Re: Swype gesture keyboard
 

all i'll say is that it's innovative and has potential... i'd give it a shot just to enjoy the novelty for a while.

looks intresting, nice find

Re: Swype........ New keyboard
 

Read about it in the techcrunch52 coverage, and watched the video from cnet. Nice app; want to play with in person before making a decision though.

Re: Swype........ New keyboard
 

Yeah it would be nice if they had something out to play with right now, but I'm sure you'll be able to test it first. To me it just looks like it will make sending quick texts or short emails a lot easier. Not too sure I would like it for anything longer than a few words.

Nice Find! I must say the community here is way better than smartphonejunkie.com. I was disappointed with the community over there. Keep up the good work.

Re: Swype gesture keyboard
 

Count me in that.

Re: Swype gesture keyboard
 

I think I'm good with touchpal. Once you get used to that, you can cruise. Not missing a hard keyboard one bit.

Re: Swype gesture keyboard
 

that swype keyboard is really hot! Too bad it doesn't come on the Touch Diamond. I'm sure someone here will tell us how to get it on there! hehe :)

Re: Swipe the new way to text
 

i saw this already. isn't it amazing? i want this so bad!

Re: Swipe the new way to text
 

yea it looks so fast but i wounder if it will lag with a lot of programs running in the background

Re: Swipe the new way to text
 

o and sorry for the miss spell on the title

Re: Swipe the new way to text
 

looks pretty cool, def have to try it out to see how cool it really is.

Re: Swipe the new way to text
 

intresting, someone please post if/when it is available and youve tried it. Ive registered but who knows how long we will have to wait. Also obviously not goin to be freeware, kinda sucks :(

Re: Swipe the new way to text
 

yea it kinda does but my friend i do think that it would be worth the cost o and who knows this might be a feature that will be integrated into all future touch screen phones so we want have to foot the bill but the phone maker will, i mean thats how it went with t9 right

Re: Swype gesture keyboard
 

I have to say, that if the keys are big enough to use without the styles, I may have to rethink getting the Touch HD. It is so much thinner and this would make it very usable.

Re: Swype Text Input

Re: Swype Text Input
 

I haven't seen it posted here. But I have a similar version of it for my iPod Touch, works perfectly, it's really a nice way of typing. I would love having it on my Diamond.

Re: Swype Text Input
 

oh thats awesome dude how fast is it? i mean for a novice haha

Re: Swype Text Input
 

It's actually pretty fast and efficient. I'll see if theres any youtube videos on it.

Actually I won't. Just checked and the videos are all people *itching about how long it takes to boot up and some other bugs. But the app is called WritingPad, in case you ever wanna try using it for yourself.

Re: Swipe the new way to text
 

And from the Cnet video the guy who made this was also a major contributor to T9, so the OEM's are already aware of what he is capeable of

A friend of mine with an iphone or maybe it's an ipod.. showed me this app. It's really slick. I'm a programmer so I immediately started to try to figure it out.
