I have it on my Touch Pro 2....and I almost pee'd myself when i used it for the first time. it's like meeting Windows Mobile, then turning around and meeting her even sexier friend Android LOLOLOL!!!! That's the best comparison I can give to going from standard typing to swype swype is frickin AWESOME.

I'll admit flat out, Swype IS better than the default virtual keyboard. Just HOW MUCH better, though? Not substantially, if you ask me. Problem is the MyTouch has a piddly 3.2" screen. The screen is fine for a lot of purposes, none of which includes text input. Even in landscape mode, it's a tad too small for text input. The keys are just too tiny for most human fingers. I don't have very thick fingertips and it's just not passable. 3.2" androids NEED a hardware-based keyboard to be useful to me. I'm happy the Swype developer is getting his day in the sun (I develop, and understand how hard it is to make money doing this), but it's not going to be something that sticks around very long. The only good Androids for inputting text either have huge screens, or hardware keyboards. Yeah, sorry, no.

It's not drawing the letters, it's a keyboard where you don't need to take your finger off the keyboard. You just swipe from one letter to another and the predictive algorithm figures out the words. It's actually really cool and can get you texting at like 50 wpm once you get used to it. I think you don’t understand what swype is.
