Do I go with the Galaxy for Swype? Or do I grab the iphone for image quality? Decisions!

It still feels like sometimes tapping with two thumbs would be quicker, but when I actually time myself and factor in mistakes/typos my true “throughput” is always faster with Swype. I’m also finding it much more comfortable to Swype when holding the Evo in portrait mode; it’s more comfortable to hold the EVO with one hand and Swype with the other than grip it on the sides and thumb-text (which often results in me accidentally hitting the capacitive search button or home!).

Now that I’ve gotten used to Swyping I find myself really wishing I could use it on my iPad as well. Even though the keyboard is much bigger on the iPad, it still isn’t a true “touch-typing” experience and I make all kinds of random mistakes from missed/unrecognized keystrokes, which is something that doesn’t happen with Swype.
I would love to see this on the iPad (and my wife’s iPhone :) ).
