Are you talking about swipe typing? It was a lot faster than peck typing back when phones were small enough to fit in one hand.
AFAIK the company that patented it (Swype) screwed up by making their patent more specific than they needed to and apple/google were able to work around it without licensing it. They eventually got acquired and killed a few years ago.
