Jailbreak Only: Swype Hits Third Beta, Gets Even Better

Good news, jailbreak fans: The iOS port of Swype, which is currently available to download in Cydia (under the name of "iSwipe"), has recently been updated again. Now, the jailbreak tweak has reached its third beta, meaning the typing tool is better than ever.
If you're not familiar with Swype, the software (which is available on a variety of other mobile platforms), allows users to type words on the virtual keyboard without lifting a finger - all you need to do is drag the pad of your finger across the screen, from letter to letter. Last week, Swype reached the iOS via Cydia (the jailbreak application store), where the tweak is currently available to download for free.
Now, the tweak has received a minor update - meaning it's more stable than ever (which is good news for users of the software). It's also worth noting that the name of the package has changed from "Swype" to "iSwipe," and that in order to download the tweak, you must first add the following repository to Cydia: "http://wynd.x10.mx/repo."
Take a look at the recently updated iSwipe, and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
