Windows Phone 8.1 may feature Swype style keyboard, and Large Live Tile

Following the report of the Action Center for Windows Phone 8.1 notifications, a new report has emerged suggesting a few new features which will be headed to the upcoming update to Microsoft's mobile platform. Firstly we hear that Windows Phone 8.1 may feature a Swype style keyboard, secondly that the update will introduce the Large Live Tile, currently available on Windows 8.1

The Swype-style keyboard which will allow you to input text by swiping your fingers across the letters that spell out a word, without lifting your finger from the keyboard. After some time, Swype begins to learn which words you use often, so you don't have to be so precise. While some love using Swype as an alternative to regular typing, others love to hate it.

The larger Live Tile size is a little confusing, but it could be useful pinning an app which gives regular updates, like Facebook or email. Windows Phone users will likely find a way to put the extra real estate to some use, especially if you are sporting a large screened phablet like the Lumia 1520.
