Fleksy is a keyboard app that lets you type very quickly. It takes the locations you touched to enter a word and, when you swipe right, it guesses the word. You can therefore touch roughly where you think the proper letters would be, swipe right, and have the word you meant inserted. Many people really like it, and it has begun to be integrated into iOS apps like Blindsquare and Tweetings. Soon, though, it can be made into a default keyboard across the entire OS.
