Swype Beta Updated
Note: This post was written on my Motorola Droid, using the newest Swype beta release for Android as the input method and the WordPress app. The only addition is this header and the picture. Enjoy!
Swype has updated their existing beta release effective today, June 16th. If you are an existing beta user/tester, you will need to log in to the beta site to obtain the updated version – your current version WILL expire soon. New users accepted into the beta should receive an invite starting today (mine arrived a little after midnight), complete with instructions on the installation process, a FAQ link for troubleshooting, and introductory videos on how to get the most out of Swype.
Please remember that this is a beta release and bugs may still be getting worked out for your device. I recommend you read Renee’s post on her experiences with the Swype beta for tips on how to use (and get accustomed to) this new Droid input method. Check out the video where she demos Swype on her device for our Droid Women community.

i cannot load the beta registration page. it tells me the target page has been moved. help.
Amy, what’s the address you are trying? The link Renee has in her post should still be good.
This link is currently working and shows the registration form for me:
https://beta.swype.com/android/create/
wow! that’s pretty neat. got the link in seconds and playing with it now. hmmm, maybe i should have commented from my Droid for practice 🙂
THANKS!
glad you like it so far!
Swype is the best app I have downloaded onto my phone! I have only used my hardware keyboard 3x since downloading Swype!
Yes, I really enjoy it & it’s my primary keyboard now, too!
