    I've been using it all day and so far very impressed. So glad I got it in the sale awhile ago. New smart space is best bit as you can type a sentence like this 'thisisasentance' and it'll add in spaces plus correct the (deliberate this time) spelling mistake. Not so impressed by new punctuation key but I think I'll get use to it.

    Hmm, I wonder how this compares with the slide-keyboard on the Galaxy SIII. I've been pretty impressed by that, so something similar for my Asus tablet would be good - especially at a reduced price.

    Career status: still enjoying my new career in DevOps, but it's keeping me busy...

    Swype has also just been updated today. I liked that at one point but it started to feel too resource hungry on my poor old Android.

    I have it on my desire hd and my sony tablet s. Been using it since it was 10p on sale earlier this year and loved it.

    The new version does seem a major improvement

    If only the cursor keys weren't buried 3 keypresses deep it'd be perfect!

    If you just press the spacebar, it makes a sentence from your most used words!

    Re: News - SwiftKey Android keyboard app updated today to version 3

    Installed the Swiftkey trial to me phone last week. So much better than the standard input.
    Love the fact that half the time I seem to just jab anywhere on the keyboard yet it still knows exactly what word I wanted.

    It must read your mind through the tips of your fingers. There can be no other reasonable explanation.

    I'm using it just now, not sure if I prefer it over the standard xperia keyboard or not. Pros and cons to both.

    It seems you're on getting good testimonials coming from those who are in this thread. I want to try it as well, currently using an android app by dextr a keyboard app on an alphabetical keystroke.
