Meet Swype. The The World's Fastest Texting Interface.

Meet Swype. The The World's Fastest Texting Interface.
What exactly is "Swype"? And how is it going to change the way in which we communicate? Consider it the next evolutionary step in texting technology. Instead of tapping words in, like you do on a traditional touchscreen phone, you trace the path of the letters with your finger. Additionally, there is no need to press the space bar because inbetween swypes, spaces are automatically inserted with pauses. Confused? Curious? Take a look at the How-to-Swype-Video: Swyping might seem a tad bit counterintuitive and confusing at first but with a certain amount of practice and repetition, it becomes second nature. By no means it it too complex for seniors; not having to actually press down on individual buttons will begin to seem more natural. And it puts the carpal-tunnel concerned at ease. The built-in efficiency is nothing to scoff at; at the end of the day, you can get your texts done in a quicker manner. In fact, a Swype user just made it to the Guinness World of Record for texting speed. Quite impressive! Swype will now be available for Android phones; you can download the beta application at beta.swype.com. Want Swype? (yes, you do)
