Err, SwiftKey anyone? It's been around since 2008 and even has an xkcd comic featuring it: http://xkcd.com/1068/

I love SwiftKey but don't think anything equivalent was previously available for iPhone. My wife missed Swype terribly when she switched to iOS.

Haven't used SwiftKey, but from what is described in the comic, it seems that builds a Markov chain from your text.
