this got me thinking about the swype beta again (i didn't really care since i have a droid, full hardware keyboard).
http://beta.swype.com/ (beta is reopened for holidays so it should be closing soon, link is in article too)
it's open to ppl with droid. Took a bit of login to finally download it, watch the 1min video and wow it's pretty awesome. (i use it when my droid is vertical w/o the slide out keyboard)
i'm interested in the kinect app.

I got accepted after applying a few months ago and I'm absolutely loving it! I was pretty fast before but I feel like I can do the same speed without even trying now.

Thanks msiegel, Swype runs soo much better than the default onscreen keyboard on my older mytouch 3g fender edition. It is actually responsive in entering text. Kinda like cursive for typing, fun.... Much faster at on screen typing now.
