We will see when we get some beta test out but there are a few different products out that are similar:

Swype
SlideIT
ShapeWriter

SlideIT is the only one that has a downloadable version out i've tried it and i must say i'm pretty impressed. the slideIT keyboard is a little small but you can also do graf on the side. overall i'm excited to see the other two come out!

There are plenty of alternate input methods for PDAs. I use Fitaly ( http://fitaly.com ), because that's optimised for single-finger entry of the English language; with its macros and shortcuts, people can get quite impressive input rates using it. TenGo ( www.tengo.net ) is pretty good too, and people get up to 75wpm on that. I'll be interested to see if Swype can measure up to these keyboards.

you basically draw on the screen with your finger. useless if you have an entire QWERTY keypad. smart if you have a T9 keypad showing on the screen. as you already said: QWERTY was invented to prevent jamming and the only way we're going to stop using it is when they make speech to text perfect or develop a brain computer.
