A video comparing text input of the iPhone versus text input using Swype has been posted online by TechCrunch.

Swype was created by the inventor of the T9 predictive typing system used on most phones today because he felt that new text input methods for small touchscreens are sorely needed. Today, the startup announced the first phone to use the technology will be the Samsung Omnia II on Verizon.

The video shown below is a side-by-side comparison of typing on the Omnia II versus typing on an iPhone. Swype lets you input text by literally swiping your finger from one letter to the next as fast as you can.

In the video Swype easily beats the iPhone; however, in my personal typing test I can easily beat Swype. In fact, I finished inputing the entire selection in about half the time it took the Swyper. (By the word ‘effort’ to be precise).

Perhaps Swype would be good for those with poor hand eye co-ordination as it doesn’t involve lifting your finger from the device.

The most notable, and now famous, hole in this theory is that every iPhone ships with the same default password for both the all-powerful “root” user as well as the more-restricted “mobile” user.

As you all may know Verizon out of no where started attacking AT&T and it’s network with some not so nice television commercial ads. These ads have to do with network coverage and how one is better than the other. In obvious retaliation AT&T came back with an ad of their own and since the iPhone is running under AT&T’s network it looks like Apple wants to protect it’s precious jewel so it fired back with a couple of commercial ads of its own:

The Apple Magic Mouse drivers have been hacked to enable multi-touch support on Windows 7, according to uneasysilence.com.

Thanks to a little hackery from Apple’s Bluetooth Update the Magic Mouses driver was extracted via WinRar resulting in a 32bit version and a 64bit version that you can install on any ordinary Windows PC that will enable all the scrolling ‘magic’ of the Magic Mouse.

You can download the 32-bit drivers here and the 64-bit drivers here
