Swype for Android : Free for download tomorrow :)

[DellyBelly]

Just got into the beta myself today and I gotta say the hype is legit; I don't think im typing FASTER (at worst the same) really; but im definitely entering text EASIER and mistake free; their algorithm has been almost 99% accurate even when im scribbling on the pad and forget what letter i was even at.

Very well executed. What do you think they are gonna charge once it's on the market?

It won't be cheap. I am guessing $10 - $30 and it will sell very well and the developers will be rich. I would certainly pay $20USD for this keyboard.

I'd pay too (and I'm a broke student!), but they simply won't release it and I'm sick of trying to get the beta to work. And yeah, I tried Snazzy's method to get it to work but it didn't do the trick (neither did uninstalling, redownloading, rebooting, etc). I guess I'll just wait.

I really hate when I want to BUY something but I simply can't.

EDIT: Well, I know why they're not selling it yet and that's fine, that's not what I was trying to say.

About this, I've been wondering ... perhaps we need to register with Google checkout first? (It's not in my area too)

If you take a look at their website you will see that they don't have any plans to offer this as a paid app directly to consumers. Their clients are the carriers who add the application to their phones as a differentiation feature.

Quite sensible approach, from a business point of view. But disappointing for the end consumers not affiliated to one of their client carriers.

Anyone catch that the new Galaxy S is coming with this pre-installed?

Hrumph!

Aren't there any fans of Big Buttons Keyboard?
