That's too bad, I was hoping more of the MR folks would take advantage of the deal. (This thread did not seem to generate much interest, I'm wondering if anybody else got the deal)
Yes swype on a 7" is not as effective as on a 4" or smaller. On a smaller screen swype is awesome, because it is fast, accurate and only requires one hand. On a larger screen you need two hands and the keys are much bigger so there is more area to swype.
Keyboards like Android Gingerbread and Swiftkey become better on a 7" because the keys are bigger. Add predictive text and you can really hum along.
I like having options and I've bought SlideIt and would have bought SwiftKey since it is better than the android keyboard.
That said if you are not happy with the Samsung keyboard spending $2 for an alternative is not much. As I mentioned earlier I was getting ready to pay for it myself.
