Swype is, without a doubt, a very useful program to be featured on virtually any operating system. Despite not being (legally) available for download for Android - news has developed that Swype has officially opened a beta program for the Android Platform. Some things you should know are:

• Go here to register for the beta program.
• The beta test is open to only a limited number of people.
• English and Spanish languages supported for now.
• This is a limited version, compared to what you get when Swype is built in to a phone.
• HVGA and WGVA resolutions only.
• Support is done via forums.
• And if you already have Swype (like on a new T-Mobile Android Phone), don’t download this one - It won’t work.

So go right ahead and give it a try, and tell us what you think of the program so far. [Swype]
