Swype for Symbian out now at Nokia beta labs
What is Swype?
Swype provides a faster and easier way to input text on any screen. With one continuous finger or stylus motion across the screen keyboard, the patented technology enables users to input words faster and easier than other data input methods—at over 40 words per minute. The application is designed to work across a variety of devices such as phones, tablets, game consoles, kiosks, televisions, virtual screens and more.
Swype is finally out for Symbian^1 phones. How cool is that! Am guessing that swype will work best on X6 (as its a capacitive touchscreen phone).
