    Just got an email about this...

    The predictive power of Swiftkey with the swiping of Swype? Looks good to me!

    Just got that mail myself, I'd switched to Swype from Swiftkey, but would definitely want to try this. The best of both by the looks of it!

    + a gazillion.

    If it has that neon trail it'd be wicked too. Really is best of both worlds if it works technically as well as swype. Often found myself wanting to be able to auto switch KB contextually but with this I won't need to. Now to get my grubby hands on this beta...:pac:

    I'm a big Swype fan, having moved there from Swiftkey, interesting how this compares.

    I also switched from Swiftkey to Swype and remember there being one or two things that Swype did less well (it pretends not to recognise or remember swear words, for one thing and it's a pain to install it on a new device) but overall the swipiness was worth it.

    This should be interesting, if it's free.

    It does but from my experience no keyboard comes close to SwiftKey in terms of prediction and accuracy

    I'm quite looking forward to this.
    I'm a big fan of swift key, but love the flow style too.

    Really hope we see this out soon.

    Really looking forward to this. Swype is driving me mad since I upgraded to JB. In some apps, particularly the browser, auto-space doesn't work.

    Yeah, I have that too. Have you tried the new default Android keyboard with swipe in 4.2? I'm using it on my Nexus 7. Not too sure on it yet.

    I was using it for about a week. Needs a lot more work. :(

    Wow, first impressions are very good. After coming from Swype this just feels so much more comfortable. I've imported all sources, Facebook, Twitter, Sms and Gmail and it works really well. Definitely a keeper for me.
