iOS Hacker Begins Porting Swype To Jailbroken iPhones

When it comes to Swype and their crazy drag-to-type alternative keyboard of the same name, there's only one problem: it's really, really tough to give up once you've gotten used to it. Alas, I've gotta deal with the withdrawal symptoms each and every time I jump from an Android device back to my iPhone, due to restrictions inherent to iOS.While Swype was purportedly working on something for iOS in June of last year (and, as the rumor mill had it, trying to convince Apple to make it official) all word of it went silent pretty quickly.The mission has been revived, it seems, albeit with someone else behind the charge: Andrew Liu, developer of the "DreamBoard" theming hack for jailbroken devices, has begun to "port" Swype to iOS.
