Apparently seeing the interesting new Swipe keyboard bundled on the Droid X is only the beginning. CEO Mike McSherry stated that although this is the biggest break yet, it will certainly not be the last. He is estimating the keyboard will be on around fifty devices by the years end.

The company continues to pursue integration with the iPhone but is more than happy to feed the product to whoever is biting. So far Swype can be seen on HTC, Motorola, and Samsung devices to include the upcoming Droid X from Motorola, to be released July 15th.

In case you aren’t familiar with the Swype keyboard, the app allows you to simply trace a path between the letters of a word you are trying to type. The app then chooses the word that fits with the letters traced and inputs it automatically, claiming to save you time and effort typing longer sentences faster.
