Let’s say you don’t really want to use your WONDERFUL TILT KEYBOARD. I know, why wouldn’t you huh? Well, sometimes it’s faster to tap a couple keys and move on. If you want to explore another text entry method for your Tilt or any other Windows Mobile Device, you can take a look at this neat looking software.

To me, it looks kind of tough, but I can see how easy it could be with practice. The demo for a Windows Mobile Device is at the 1 min remaining mark in the above video. The inventor of this method was one of the inventors of T9 too. Pretty cool!

    I'm not sure that Swype is really a new idea.

    I seem to recall a fairly old sliding input method (back in Pocket PC 2000 or 2002 days), but I couldn't find it in a brief search (remembering the name probably would have helped).

    However, there's also Dasur's SlideIt input method, which uses sliding to input text. Check the animated graphic on that page.
