A lot of different people have come up with metrics for the optimality of a given keyboard layout. This has given rise to various unusual layouts that are the optimal layout for a given metric. [1] I wonder if the same could be done for a swipe based phone layout. Seems like you'd end up with something very different than Dvorak and probably quite different than Qwerty as well. Perhaps part of the metric could give a bonus to layouts that were similar to some other layout, thus creating Qwerty-phone and Dvorak-phone alternative layouts. As someone who types with Dvorak on the computer, I'd happily attempt to learn a new layout for phones. My error rate is extremely high with swipe keyboards, even though I use Qwerty.
