A company called Swype has created a fantastic new way of creating text input.
Instead of touching keys by lifting your finger or stylus from key to key, you trace a path from each letter to the next in what you’re writing. The software that runs the keyboard then figures out what you said.
I could try to describe it further, but why not just watch the video?

More on the company can be found at its website:
Niklas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niklas_Zennstr%C3%B6m) and Janus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janus_Friis), the guys who invented kazaa, a program to illegally trade files, and skype, a program that allows easy free voice calls from your pc and very cheap calls to and from regular phones (and was bought by ebay for $2.6 billion plus), are now letting a few people peak at their next project, making streaming video and audio free to distribute and super convenient to access.
But isn’t that youtube you ask?
Well it’s a fair amount different, particularly in that it’s not small little videos, and it scales without much cost: http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/OmMalik/~3/64697521/
