Swype For Android Is Available Now – Get It While It’s Hot

We told you this was coming: Swype has just made it possible for any Android handset owner to download their innovative touch-screen enabled text-input application straight from the website . Which means a whole lot of people can henceforth start challenging that Guinness World Record for speedy textin'. Up until today, Swype came pre-installed on only a fraction of available Android phones (including the all new Motorola Droid X ) due to its licensing business model, although the company did open up to 25,000 eager beta testers a couple of months ago - most of whom seem to have completely fallen in love with it. Well, anyone can download it now, but only for a limited time (a couple of days) and with a somewhat limited feature set. Important: it won't work if you have a phone that came pre-installed with Swype and support will be via Swype's forums only.
