At MobileFocus this evening, we popped by the Swype stand and had a look. We first saw the Swype founder Cliff Kushler demonstrate a really alpha version of the text input system back at CTIA in 2008 (See the end of this video).

We caught a demonstration of the system working on a Samsung i8910 running Symbian but it’s working on Windows Mobile and Android too.
