    it looks like it works really fast, and its going to be available for windows mobile, so i'm hoping it will be installable as a sort of plugin on the m8, since it would be a great way to type your messages really fast with ease, unlike the iphone, wich personally i really disliked, becouse of the inaccurate on screen keyboard (some people might disagree, but many people agree with me on that topic)

    Then it working for me too.

    Very cool and interesting.
    Would be nice see if this thing supports lots of languages. Then it would be a strong plug-in for most M8 users.

    they are currently working on that, they already have 5 languages completed if i'm not mistaken. I hope this will be installable on any windows mobile device also, as a plugin or so, wich would give you the choise to install this yourself if you want to.

    Well the problem with the predicting systems is when you're using multiple languages, like in a tech talk or often saying names... But I agree that it looks pretty nice for speeding up 1 finger typing!

    I cannot share your enthusiasm .. this is nothing else than a T9 with even less accuracy. Everything that relies on dictionaries is limited to them, yet .. that is.
    The next thing I am waiting for is a dictionary-assisted ordinary touch keyboard, which corrects me if I didn't hit the keys in their centre, and learns from my mistakes by maintaining an automated user dictionary whenever I correct my own typing.

    this technology also allows you to just type, and automatically adds the typed words to your dictionary so you can swype these words in the future.
    this is one of the nice functions, you can just use it as a normal typing keyboard if you like!

    That sounds an awful lot like the iPhone's keyboard system.

    Yes it does now that you speak of it. By the way I believe that I was the first on the forums to use "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" but I believe the actual quote has come from many years ago.
    If you are having trouble with your player, please visit this thread first and try the steps before you panic. Most likely you will be able to fix your player easily using the steps listed.

    Players: Meizu M6 SP 4GB, iPod Touch 4G
    Headphones: SoundMAGIC PL-50s, Auvio In-Ear Armatures, Bose QC-15s.

    How is that faster than two fingers? It would be nice to swich back and forth between touch and swipe features.
    Do you know what's faster than this? Talking.

    I was thinking the exact same thing. The iPhone does exactly what he is talking about.

    I think you were, but if you Google it, you get around 190,000 results, so, yeah.
