I don't see why not. Typing on Android has been an unceasing exercise in frustration ever since the real Swype and HTC keyboards went defunct. I made 5 typing errors while writing this message alone.

SwiftKey is good. It also has the nice feature in that it lets you raise the keyboard higher which is great for large devices so that you are not typing at the very bottom in an unbalanced manner.

Really? I can type exceptionally quickly and actually using the android swipe typing. At least as good as the original Swype. Sure it's not as fast as a physical keyboard, but I'm not writing a novel on this device. (3 typos made writing this)

Is that "actually" supposed to be "accurately"? Kind of undermines your point, doesn't it?

It does! C'est la vie, it's good enough for me!
