well, if they want to reinvent the voice to text wheel, they better do it fast and do it better than the default voice to text cause i sorely miss my voice to text button!

I feel you on missing the voice to text button, that's the one thing I hate about Swype, this is great news.

I just got this app yesterday, didn't think I'd gel with it for awhile but man was I wrong, this swyping business is bad ass and cant believe it's a free app!

Ah yes, I remember when Swype came out. They used it to break the world record for the fastest text typed/sent. Cheaters!!!

Will download though and give it a shot! It looks pretty cool.

Some guy on Youtube broke that record using an Iphone. I think he got like 25 seconds or something.

I don't think it was official. Anyways, iPhones usually have the auto-correct feature, which Swype did not (because you aren't allowed to use that feature.) If you use it, you're automatically disqualified.
