Swype Beta has been updated, and the new version brings Nuance’s popular Dragon Dictation to the already revolutionary keyboard. Dragon Dictation has been incorporated into other Android keyboards in the past, such as FlexT9. Swype’s intuitive context word choices are working to make the keyboard even more accurate, and now there are over 50 languages downloadable through the keyboard’s settings menu. You’d have to be a linguist to find a launguage they aren’t offering. But to be clear, at the moment the Dragon side only supports English, German, French, Italian and Spanish. Swype has promised more language packs in 2012, so sit tight if yours isn’t on the list just yet.
I don’t know about the readers out there, but it’s tempting to uninstall Swype and redownload it just so i don’t have to wait for the update like a normal person. Let us know if you’re looking forward to this, or how you feel about it in the comments. That is, after you watch what I’m going to boldy refer to as the best commercial of all time below.

In recent months, Verizon Wireless has launched a lot of good Android devices. Their lineup is one of the best, and the launch of Galaxy Nexus few days ago made it the best by far. Previously, rumor had it that Verizon would be launching the Droid 4 few days after the launch of the Galaxy Nexus, but now VZ-Buzz is reporting that Verizon will launch it next year on February 2nd.
While there’s no idea why Verizon is delaying the launch for 2 months, it seems the reason could be the LTE outages, but what I believe is that Verizon wants to wait because they just launched the Galaxy Nexus – meaning, if they launch the Droid 4 as well, then the Droid 4 will probably fail to stand in front of the Nexus because it’s the first ICS device. It was also very anticipated.
Hopefully, in February, Verizon will launch the device with Ice Cream Sandwich on board, which will attract more users. This is something they really need to do because – right now -everyone’s got ICS in their mind. In the meantime, what do you think is the reason of this delay? Share your thoughts with us in the comment box below.

With Christmas right around the corner, a lot of you procrastinating shoppers are probably starting to lose a little hair trying to figure out what to get the techie on your list. Thankfully, eBay Daily Deals is here to help with an HTC Evo View tablet for just $240 – and that’s with no contract. Think you can get it through Sprint for the same? Think again, as this is a huge $160 off Sprint’s price.
For those of you needing the specs, here you have it:
- 7-inch 1024×600 display
- 1.5GHz single-core processor
- 1GB RAM
- 32GB storage, microSD card slot
- 5MP rear shooter, 1.3MP front
- Android 2.3 with Sense
- Scribe Stylus Pen support, though no pen is included in the deal
- It should also be noted that, while this tablet is running Android 2.3, the Honeycomb update just came to the states for its GSM cousin, so we will likely see the same update for this version
There’s no telling how long this deal will stick around, as we’ve seen it a couple times before, but we suggest you get your rear in gear and pick one up while the deal is there and in stock! Check out the eBay link here.
