WritingPad is actually pretty good.  You just have to try and use it...

Considering Swype has some patents on this stuff (from what I gather)
I wonder how long WritingPad will stick around. Also, from the mention
that WritingPad doesn't work all that great, it seems like their
algorithms & word lists must not be as well tuned as the Swype one.

We'll see.
