What is Swype & how does it work? Putting it simply Swype allow users to trace their way between different letter on a touch screen (by actually dragging their hands on the screen) instead of tapping each letter one by one. Essentially the aim of Swype is to increase the typing speed by making touch typing more intuitive. Now, here comes the real interesting stuff. Today TechCrunch leaked a video that (attached with the post) shows the comparison between the typing speed on an iPhone and Samsung Omnia II. Both the phones are placed side by side and by now you won’t be surprised to learn that Samsung (using Swype) beats the iPhone. In fact the typist using Samsung finishes way before his iPhone counterpart. I am not saying that this is gonna be another iPhone killer. Ofcourse not. I have not used Swype personally so I can’t comment on its speed. But from outside I find it very impressive and this could be the direction in which touch technology might evolve.
