Swype built in on Droid X

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

Good to hear that Swype will be included on the Droid X from Motorola. I reported on Swype and the Shark technology to which it bears a striking resemblance a while back. Having used it on a Nexus One I can say that the latest version makes entering text a lot faster than lots of tapping on the screen.

Link to engadget article about Droid X with Swype here.

I also found this comment by one of the creators of Swype that says that the Swype technology was actually patented before the Shark technology from IBM was created and the two were developed separately in parallel.
