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 <a href="http://www.mobiletextinput.com/Product/SlideIT/SlideIT.php" rel="nofollow">SlideIt input method</a>, which uses sliding to input text. Check the animated graphic on that page. Steve I’m not sure that Swype is really a new idea.
