Swype could completely change the way we type on touchscreen smartphones -- and potentially pose a real challenge to the iPhone.
Swype, invented by the creator of the T9 predictive typing system, offers a new input system for typing on touchscreen phones.
TechCrunch explains, "the way you type with Swype is you literally swipe your finger from one letter to the next as fast as you can."
The new "Swyping" system will debut with Verizon's new Samsung Omnia II smartphone.
The video below shows a smartphone typing smackdown: Swype vs. iPhone, side-by-side. (Spoiled alert: the Samsung Omnia II, with Swype, beats the iPhone hands down.)
See the new technology for yourself below.

Ideas from Mark Stout: A Few Things I've Learned about Evernote
Ideas from Mark Stout: A Few Things I've Learned about Evernote
Mostly I use this with my Neat Company scanner. I scan to PDF, placing the PDF file into the watched folder, and it goes right into Evernote. (other posts about Neat)
Update August 6, 2009: Lifehacker just had a great idea related to this. Create shortcut to this Evernote folder and place it in your SendTo folder. That way, in Windows Explorer you can select a file, right click and send it into Evernote.
More:
When you click on a tag, you can then control-click another tag and see notes that are tagged with both tags; their intersection.
Control - semicolon - inserts date & time into your current note - great for logging actions
Folder Watch
You can have Evernote watch a folder, and automatically suck in any file saved there. [File/Import/File Import Wizard - it will watch the folder for you, but the first time it will import all files in that folder]
That basically gives me a "Copy to Evernote" and a "Print to Evernote" ability. If I download a photo from my phone, I just save it to that folder and it is absorbed into Evernote. If I'm working in a document, I print to PDF into that folder and voila, it is in Evernote.
