Any idea/guesses as to when/if Apple will add Swype to their phones?

Issues with my left hand limit function, so I have gotten used to and quite good at using Swype.

I have a Motorola DroidX and it has served me well for about a year, BUT, I really, really want an iPhone.

My unofficial wild assed guess is never, as an official supported feature of iOS, because the selected characters are not recognized in iOS as selected until the user LIFTS his finger from the touch screen. Sliding away cancels the touch. This results, in test after test, in greater accuracy for text input.
