Shapewriter Going Away

[Vegasden]

On their site they are saying they are pulling out of the Android market tomorrow:

User Notice: We plan to take ShapeWriter off the Android Market on June 20, 2010 for an indefinite period of time, If you have purchased or downloaded ShapeWriter Keyboard on your Android device, please update it to the latest Version 3.0.9 which will not expire as the previous versions do. We thank you for your interest and support.

Interesting, I wonder why. Thanks for the heads up.

They were bought out by another company, Nuance, which should be name you might have heard of for its Dragon line of software . They are probably reforming and might not handle Android anymore. Or they must just come back under another name.

On my EVO shapewriter seems to be the most accurate of the slide to type keyboards. I snagged the free version before it was removed. Swype just couldn't compete and slideit was not much fun either due to the need to switch between letters and numbers, rather than long pressing a key to get the symbol or number typed (as shapewriter permits).

For those that missed picking up the free shapewriter.apk from the marketplace, here is the last version I used.

You can tap the back button once.
