Swype for Android now available for public consumption

General

swype-beta-269x479

Today Swype announced that its popular keyboard alternative is now available for public download for all Android users. The free-for-all beta download will be available for a limited amount of time — a few days most likely — and is a feature limited version of the keyboard. Folks that want the fully featured version will have to purchase a handset like the myTouch 3G with Swype pre-installed. Despite its limitations, the keyboard is a worthy replacement for the stock Android keyboard and is well worth the time it takes to sign up and snag a copy while it is free. Happy Swyping!

    I have it installed and like using it. It makes the whole large finger problem go away. I just have to be near the keys I’m trying to trace. Very Cool.

    I see you guys all love it, that’s good. Because there is another program using similar technology and has a download/purchase option for Windows Mobile, Android, Symbian and iPhone devices, unlike this.
    It’s name is “Dasur – SlideIT”. Google it.

    I got it two days ago on my Moto Droid and love it. It works great. A must have for any Android user.
