The creators of T9 announced Swype, a very cool, potentially thumb-saving method of text entry. Simply trace the word and Swype figures it out. For instance, in the above image, the finger traced the lines between Q, I, C, and K to create the word ‘QUICK’ as in ‘50 words per minute QUICK!’

Check out the video after the ‘leap’ to see a demonstration

    I don’t think it’s the latest technology. I looked and found SlideIT, a program that is out there for a year while Swype isn’t out yet. It has free demos, and actually quite cool… Check it out:
