I just downloaded the new swype beta for android and its absolutely fantastic. So much so that i decided I should write this entry for from my nexus one phone, something I wouldn’t have really been too encouraged to do before. In part because the default android keyboard doesn’t really work out that well for me leaving me with a lot of typos and frustration. The swype keyboard even in its beta does an amazing job at identifying long and not very precise input, a far superior input method. And I’ve only been using out for a few hours now!

I do need to get faster at correcting the typoes I do make, and I feel the suggestion menu is a little obtrusive. The keyboard, however looks fantastic. If you’re running an android phone I would default keep your eye’s out for this one.
