You must have heard about Swype – yes a new innovative text input technology that allows you to type on your virtual on-screen keyboard without having to lift your fingers. Swype for Android has been leaked out,  the preview version to be exact. The leaked Swype installer doesn’t work on just any Android phones, it works on only those smartphones which have WVGA screens, so it would work on the highly advertised Motorola Droid and the very cool Droid Eris. (Download link and setup instructions provided below)

I couldn’t get it to work on my Eris. I’m hoping it will work once the 2.0 update comes out.

Swype is not working on my Samsung Galaxy. “The Swype package you installed does not match the screen size of your device”
