So just how good is the Swype touchscreen keyboard-input system when you’re on a rickety train on the way into London?
Well. It’s good. Rather good, in fact.
I installed the Swype beta on my new Samsung Nexus S to see how it would perform. I have been rather impressed.
Have a look at how I got on. Oh, and sorry for the whispering. There was a large lady sitting opposite staring with a very disapproving look as I quietly narrated the video. She really put me off.
You can pick up the Swype for Android beta here. If you’ve got an Android device I strongly recommend you check it out.
For the MIR geeks, do you remember when we first saw Swype demonstrated? I managed to snag a (semi?) exclusive demonstration from one of the executives at CTIA back in 2008. The video is here.
I will need to check that one!
