>> I have a friend with an Android and tried the swype thing. Didn't like it. Quite a bit of the time when I get messages from my friend, I have to figure out what he's trying to say because swype misspells a lot. I know the iPhone has spelling problems too but it doesn't seem as many misspellings as with Android. The guy has been using Android for quite sometime now, so I'd think he has the swype thing down.

It took me awhile to get the hang of tapping the onscreen keyboard back when I got my first iPhone (3GS.) Now it seems normal. But I must admit, when I'm writing more than a sentence or so I use the Apple bluetooth keyboard with my iPad. (Like now.)
Anyone can type quickly, if they don't care what their output looks like.
If one is actually trying to communicate, then intelligibility, coherence, and correct spelling are relevant.
If either the person's thought processes or their typing method or their hardware interfere with those factors, that is a BAD thing. If they support those factors, it is a good thing.
