Swype on Android

For the unfamiliar, Swype is a new method of typing that allows a user to simply drag their finger from one letter to the next in order to spell out a word. Noah from PhoneDog went through the tutorial on video using Samsung’s WinMo-powered Omnia II.

Here, we see MobileCrunch’s Greg Kumparak running a beta copy of the Android Swype on an HTC Eris. I wasn’t too sure about the tech before, but if I can do it as fast as Mr. Kumparak can, I’m interested. Though, I still wonder about fatigue and switching hands:

    Is this going to be a free app or come with as a trail period app. It looks great. Is it working with Android 1.5 or 2.0.

    Can I get this on my Droid?

    I can't try Swype since it's not even out yet.

    So it’s better to use SlideIT, while it’s available free for all Windows Mobile and Symbian versions.

    I currently use SlideIt and it is a great application. I generally send 30-50 email and text daily and this application has made it fun and efficient.
