I just had a look at both Swype and 8pen as keyboard alternatives for mobile devices, and I wonder what people think about each of them. 8Pen is kind of new so I couldn't find any videos of people who actually could use it well (most are just 'omg crazy new shit') but I guess that Swype would indeed be faster as it requires less movement. 8pen is cooler to show off though Razz.


Anyway, what do you guys think?

When 8pen first came out it cost money and had no free trial, so I have yet to try it. Looking at their site again I see it is now free so I might check it out.

Swype is OK but it seems to fail miserably when trying to figure out some words. Even simple and common words.

I typically use SwiftKey. It learns while I type so eventually it does a pretty good job of predicting what I will type next. Its defaults are not bad, but it's impressive to see the next two words be "can" and "has" after typing "I."
