Any idea/guesses as to when/if Apple will add Swype to their phones?

Issues with my left hand limit function, so I have gotten used to and quite good at using Swype.

My unofficial wild assed guess is never, as an official supported feature of iOS, because the selected characters are not recognized in iOS as selected until the user LIFTS his finger from the touch screen. Sliding away cancels the touch. This results, in test after test, in greater accuracy for text input.

Thank you. My daughter is going to stop by today with her kids and between them they have 3 iPhones... I plan to play with the phones and try to see if I could get used to them.

I guess if I bought an iPhone and hated it, I could always give it to my wife. LOL... and get my Droid back. ;>)

I already have the big 27” iMac, an iPod, and iPod and would like the full set. LOL

ANOTHER QUESTION: Am I going to hate myself for not waiting for the iPhone-5 that ‘could’ come out this summer?????
