Default SwiftKey 2 Beta access now open (another amazing KB)

Good today only! (5/20/11) The world ends tomorrow anyways

The SwiftKey keyboard beta has been opened up so you can download the new honeycomb compatible keyboard. This is a serious contender to ThumbKeyboard, and it's specialty is predictive text. It's setup very well on the Transformer. Another must have, or at least must try keyboard.

In order to sign up, just register at their website and use the invite code #swiftkeyFRIDAY.

Register here.

Once registered you get forum access. Go to the tablet downloads section and get the new Beta.



Wife was doing some shopping last night obviously!

Had access to this for a while now but I find the layout of thumb keyboard to be far better and easier to type with, didn't use swiftkey much.

Although SwiftKey is pretty cool looking, and better then the regular keyboard. I definitely think that ThumbKeyboard is definetly better.
Also has anyone noticed how even with the keyboard dock the SwiftKey prediction three word thing still pops up. I'm not sure if I like to or not yet. But kinda cool. I wonder if they did that on. purpose or not.

Edit: Also for some reason the prediction with the keyboard work really good in the XDA app. Actually fixes any mistakes I make typing. But in every other app i've tried messes up, either by double entering words, or by just adding random letters. Especially if I start typing real fast. Guess that is a problem.

I agree with the above...I make way more mistakes on the swiftkey app and I hate the tron look. I want a matte keyboard layout so back to thumb keyboard I go!
I know it's a beta...it will get better, but for now I'll stick to what works and what I can customize further.
