Swype

Swype creates text input technology for screens.

The patented interface enables users to create words with one continuous finger motion across an on-screen keyboard. This approach provides a faster and easier way to write. Swype delivers single-tap, multi-tap, predictive and “swype” motions for both stylus and finger based input. In addition, the application is designed to work across a variety of devices such as phones, tablets, game consoles, kiosks, televisions, virtual screens and more.

Seattle based Swype Inc. was founded by Cliff Kushler and Randy Marsden in 2003. Cliff is the co-inventor of T9, the standard predictive text-entry solution used on almost 3 billion mobile phones worldwide. Randy is the developer of the onscreen keyboard included in Windows, with an installed base of over 500 million units

I'm not gonna vote for Swype because they can't even clarify with the public whether their 'brand new' technology has any fundamental difference from SlideIT and ShapeWriter (developer for Wrodpad for use on iPhone). They look the same! But then how come the other 2 developers are not shortlisted for the award? Weird.

The same technology had been released by IBM back in 2004. See: http://jkontherun.blogs.com/jkontherun/2004/11/text_entry_epip.html
