Swype beta available for Android 4.0 ICS Swype's latest beta finally makes the popular virtual keyboard available to Android 4.0 users.
Additionally, the beta offers downloadable languages for tablets and should have more accuracy improvements, as well.

Finally, the update adds Dragon Go, which is an equivalent of Siri for Android.

Swype allows users to create words on the virtual keyboard by "swiping" their fingers from character to character to create the words instead of having to hit each virtual key individually.

Get the beta here for your 4.0 device: http://beta.swype.com/
