Hi everyone,
We would like to provide an update regarding the unauthorized distribution of our Swype software. We realize that many sites are now distributing this software and several are providing installation instructions.
We are glad that you like Swype, but we did not release or leak it for distribution and do not support any downloadable versions. More specifically, any current versions of the Swype software were distributed to business partners or journalists and were done so under Non-Disclosure Agreements or a EULA, and with a time-out feature.
So far we have released Swype on the Samsung Omnia II on the Windows Mobile 6.5 platform and we have a number of other device launches as well as some additional mobile OS launches coming up soon. Because our partners are highly sensitive about their product releases we really cannot say anything further.
Stay tuned at
www.swype.com and look for a better, more feature complete, and legal version coming soon to a phone near you.
Regards,
The Swype Team
PS. Our lawyer has asked us to remind everyone that Swype does not explicitly or implicitly condone the unauthorized copying and distribution of the Swype software and to inform you that the Swype software is proprietary to Swype, Inc., is the copyrighted work of Swype, Inc., and Swype, Inc. has and always will reserve all of its rights.
