There is an app on the iPhone that does same and yes you are all quite right, it's slower and there is a wee issue if you need to do the same letter twice.

None of the other line writing keyboards I've tried do this.

The biggest thing is generally people do not take the time to go through a tutorial and then cast it off as a failure, when in reality you are using something that is trying to shift a paradigm...it will take a little practice to get use to (for me it took one day of use and I can type just as fast on sywpe as I can on my desktop/laptop keyboard, no joke)

Also, these keyboards still take in hunt and peck style typing which is obviously needed for passwords, numerical entry, etc...]]>Mar 24th 2010 12:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/t9-trace-lets-you-swype-through-your-text-messages/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/t9-trace-lets-you-swype-through-your-text-messages/
thanks for the detail, I await the possibility. It is nice to see a bit of innovation.

Nothing to do wit touchscreens but certainly with keyboard innovation.. Have you seen the kyb that uses two discs that you just rest your hands on and move in combos?

There's also no delay when you finish a word and you can see a word as you type. Good luck remembering what letter you're on as you type even mid-sized words like Engadget by following your draw-line in reverse. It's not like they can even add in a feature to do that because it can't distinguish between putty or point until you've finished the word or let go in which case you're back to tapping anyway.

It's another gimmick that's not needed and won't improve anything but it will be marketed to hell just like the rest of the dumb ideas. I like how there's a stereotypical free-thinking, chewing-gum chewing, mildly punk-style but not enough to scare you away girl used to promote it.

Hey you have bleach blonde hair, a stud in your lip, a t-shirt with writing on it and is that gum you're chewing? Wow, you must be a free-thinker, let's see what you're selling. A texting gesture. Ooh, a young free-thinker showing us new ways to text, that's cooooool. NOT!

I'd probably still take a Swype at her though. *starts dragging* nip, nip, clit, belly, nip, clit, bum, nip, bum, clit *waits for her to figure out that means orgasm*

@blanka That makes more sense. If you rearrange the keys so that most used are central then it would be an improvement over Swype on Qwerty.

But still, the word doesn't show up until you've finished typing. You guys are saying this is better than seeing every letter as you go so you can correct a mistake?]]>Mar 25th 2010 7:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/t9-trace-lets-you-swype-through-your-text-messages/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/t9-trace-lets-you-swype-through-your-text-messages/Mar 24th 2010 10:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/t9-trace-lets-you-swype-through-your-text-messages/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/t9-trace-lets-you-swype-through-your-text-messages/Mar 24th 2010 10:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/t9-trace-lets-you-swype-through-your-text-messages/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/t9-trace-lets-you-swype-through-your-text-messages/Mar 24th 2010 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/t9-trace-lets-you-swype-through-your-text-messages/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/t9-trace-lets-you-swype-through-your-text-messages/The new Guinness World Record for texting was set at 35.54 seconds by an Omnia II phone user in New York, Samsung said in a release.

The user texted the Guinness-designated phrase: “The razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human.”

The user in that case typed the same 160-letter, 26-word phrase in 41.4 seconds.

The software lets users input letters on a touch screen by swiping their finger across a keypad..."
