How is this worth $100m+ ?
- callahad 15y agoT9 is/was a feature of nearly every feature phone available after its introduction. Swype has the potential to be T9 for touchscreens. There's a lot of money to be made licensing that technology.

- brianobush 15y agoI think they wanted a 7x return on investment. But you are right, I don't see the value either... unless they have some seriously good language models built in 50 languages and the patents surrounding their interface, models, etc.
