This post was swyped on my droid

Swyping is a new way to enter text from an on screen keyboard like the one on my droid. Instead of tapping each letter, you trace out the word across the keyboard. A pretty good algorithm figures out what word you meant even if you don't trace precisely or spell well. In cases of ambiguity, it gives you choices.

The swype website (www.swype.com) claims that you can do forty words per minute. I can't do that yet but am as fast this way as I am tapping an onscreen keyboard.

Am posting by emailing to typepad. Haven't figured out yet how to insert real URLs or how to imbed pictures in droid email so will add more on another post when I get back to my computer.
