Oh, that's another thing. Why have they been in beta for, what, five years now?

Actually, they aren't in beta anymore with it being on the Play store so I guess that was their criteria for being in it for so long.

Just looked.. and given the permissions they are asking for I can only assume the app is bundled with spyware. Shame, as I actually liked/missed swype since my last phone, but not enough to deal with spyware apps.
