Got Android? Now you got Swype.

This article contains unofficial information.

One of the most anticipated programs for Android phones is Swype, which made its official debut on the Windows Mobile Samsung Omnia II earlier this month. At that time, we heard that the text entry program would be made available on other devices (including Android) in 2010. Even though we have a few days to go until Jan 1st, it appears a beta release of Swype has been leaked out and is avaliable for all you Android lovin' users to install and try out. Just follow the directions and download link on Droidmuff and you'll be good to go. We tried it on the Motorola DROID and didn't have any problems using it. In fact, it worked better than on the Samsung Omnia II, since the DROID's screen is capacitive and only requires a slight touch.

That's because it's a leaked beta version and not on the Android Market. There is a LINK in the news article above.

Works great! now there is no need to look back! I waited for the omnia 2 forever and won a droid.. No need to even think about the omnia 2 now.

Wow...I can't believe how easy it is to text! Easily uses just my thumb to text and type.

I used swipe on the Omnia 2 when our Samsung rep came into the store a few months ago. It was cool, but either he didn't know how to use it or the phone wasn't responsive enough... Either way I really like it on my Droid. It's so much easier to use and for beta is pretty accurate. Thanks!

gotta be honest, i care about swype about as much as i care about multi-touch. To each their own, but if swype is anything like the Omnia II, i'll pass, thanks

You must have missed the part where it's been confirmed as Droid-only.
