Remember the Samsung Omnia II that was recently launched on Verizon networks? The Pocket Pc is bundled with an excellent keyboard namely Swype and it has already been ripped so you could use it on your Pocket Pc too.

It’s not the looks of this Swype keyboard that makes it shine like HTC’ Keyboards. It is the way it works. You just need to swipe your finger across all the letters of your word and that’s it. It may be slightly intimidating at first but once you get used to it, you can type it faster than even on a iPhone.

Yeah, see in the video below. Tech Crunch has put up a side by side comparison with typing on the Swype keyboard along with iPhone and notice how fast it’s done.

Carty (117.193.8.xxx) 2009-12-20 06:01:27 Yes, this works only with WVGA resolutions. Shape writer works pretty much the same but the only difference is that Swype is free Reply | Quote 1   0

I have been testing ShapeWriter and generally like it, but I prefer SlideIT. The tap mode is more flexible and I like the graffiti portion. The intuitive is easier to modify and affect. Plus, it is not on sale for only 4.99. For that price I was willing to give up the free shapewriter beta and get slideit.  http://dasur.co.il/Product/SlideIT/SlideIT.php Reply | Quote 0   0
