People, the guys at Swype must have read my nerdrage and or Swype forum post, because a new beta has just been released, featuring tablet support, and more importantly … prediction! I know, I’m freaking surprised too!
One of the new mentionable features is the new suggestion selection bar. Gone are the days where the text you wanted to change was obscured by the word selection anchors in gingerbread.
The Swype beta is still open, so join up now if you haven’t already.
Those people who read my personal twitter feed (@jive69) will know I recently got banned from commenting on AppAdvice. After reading one too many of their off-topic stories ripping on Android, I kinda told them they were trashy tabloid bloggers who should open an Android hate-blog. My bad I guess.
Lets cut to the chase: Reader HD is by far the best RSS reader app for Honeycomb. So much in fact that it has set a clear benchmark for other RSS readers to aspire to.

The following was Google’s answer to enquiries made by Android Police:
UPDATE: boom it’s live! http://skx.me/beta
Moments ago, SwiftKey VIPs (including yours truly) received an email from Joe Braidwood, Chief Marketing Officer at TouchType, stating that SwiftKey X Beta will be on the Android Market within the hour!
For those who don’t know, SwiftKey is the best keyboard for Android, and that’s not an exaggeration. Incorporating intelligent forward thinking and prediction methods, as well as the ability to read your thoughts by analysing your sms, emails, tweets and facebookage, SwiftKey is attractive, fast and accurate, compensating for even the sloppiest of touch-screen typists.
