Swype 3.0 Beta out now.

Swype, the keyboard where you swipe your fingers across the keys rather than type, it’s a bit like marmite, you either love or hate it!

Personally I love it, I’ve been using it for nearly as long as I’ve had a smartphone…. so I’m quite looking forward to the update that is apparently due out just about now.

Edit:

Swype have replied to my question about if we will be notified via email, their reply is pasted below.

 

What’s new in Swype 3.0:

  • Tap Correction:You’ve always been able to jump back and forth between swiping through letters and tapping letters one-by-one; now you can do the latter without losing the autocorrect/predictive functionality that comes with swiping.
  • Horizontal Word Choice: When there are multiple possible words for the letters you just swiped through, the options will be shown in a sliding horizontal bar above the keyboard as opposed to the strange popup selection window that Swype has had for a while.
  • Available for devices with HVGA, WVGA, FWVGA, QVGA, WQVGA, WSVGA, qHD screen sizes
  • A special Honeycomb-only WXGA version for Android tablets, which features a resizable and moveable keyboard
