Betcha didn't know there was a keyboard war waging on the iPhone, did ya?
The upcoming Samsung Omnia II (for Verizon) smartphone offers a one-handed typing system dubbed "Swype." Now, TikiLabs' TikiNotes fires back with a free iPhone app that boils the iPhone typing experience down to six keys. (Android and WinMo flavors are expected shortly.) We're guessing that kids used to texting on a cell phone with just the 0-9 keys will find this easier to pick up than us old QWERTY fogies.

I have tried both SlideIT and ShapeWriter and on the HD2 I much prefer SlideIT. it‚Äôs mainly due to how it handles the iritic behavior of the capacitive screen, I mean HTC need to fix up its response, in ShapeWriter the line drawn with your finger tends to be scribbled everywhere missing letters, to much lesser extent on SlideIT, the keys are much easier to hit in SlideIT imo. the finger sliding keyboards are the way to go either way, I can type so much faster with SlideIT and takes only little practice to get a real knack of it … SlideIT is fantastic!
