Has anyone here ever used a Swype keyboard? A friend of mine showed me his phone with it on and it is truly amazing! I was instantly typing a lot faster than I ever have on my iPhone. http://www.swypeinc.com/ I wonder if there will ever be anything like this for the iPhone? |

Just had a play on the HTC HD, and to be honest I'm not quick with it yet. Really struggled to get some words in, and I can't figure out how to correct a word - it says double-tap but that brings up the copy/paste menu on top of the correction menu! I guess it's like anything, only practice will tell. Perhaps the HTC with Huge Dimensions just doesn't need it - I get 120 wpm just tapping like a normal keyboard. |

I would hope so, it does look great from the videos I've seen. Off topic: Apple should show the correct case on their keyboard as well. |

That is the first thing I said when my dad showed me his original iPhone. I went to type and the case didn't change and it completely threw me. His argument was that the case on a normal keyboard doesn't change but this isn't a normal keyboard, it's a software keyboard it can do anything. |

The site has a load of "Tips and tricks" videos. http://www.swypeinc.com/tips-tricks.html One of them is for correcting a word. |

I wonder if they'll produce an iOS control. Could be interesting as an option. |

Nope, No apps that duplicate functionality allowed on the app store, same reason you can't get Winamp and the same reason Firefox is a lame bookmark extension for Safari |

I did see that, but it doesn't work. Double-tap brings up the correction menu, but it also brings up the copy/paste menu which appears on top and totally obscures it making it unworkable. |
