Swype 3.26 released with better keyboard layout and additional languages support

A new version of the popular Swype virtual keyboard has come, and it introduces the long-awaited automatic updates, and adds more languages to the mix.

The nice part is that Swype has support for HD 720p displays now, like those on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, or the LG Optimus LTE, but support for devices with Android 1.6 and WQVGA resolution has been dropped. The company got acquired for $100 million by Nuance recently, the guys behind the speech-recognition technology used in the Siri voice assistant software in the Apple iPhone 4S.

Here is the full changelog, as explained by the guys from Swype:

" Automatic Updates have finally arrived! Once installed, this latest version of Swype will let you install updates on-the-fly via Swype Connect. When an update is ready, you'll receive an Android Notification informing you that an upgrade is available. Install the update right through the Swype Settings window. Your user dictionary and settings will automatically be saved during the update!

Improved Language Control gives you access to only the languages you use. From Swype Settings you can select which languages will appear when switching languages directly from Swype. Never cycle through a language you don't use again.

The Refined Key Layout brings a better overall user experience, more in line with what users expect. Numbers are now across the top row, and the symbols layer contains several new characters, and a button to switch between 2 pages of symbols.

Redesigned Settings & Help makes it easier than ever to control how Swype behaves, and learn how to become an advanced Swype user. Just long-press to go straight to the Swype Settings window! "

The Nuance acquisition is predominantly meant to add more functionality to the accompanying voice-recognition software, like it learning from your typing pattern the way you spell certain names, and acting accordingly when you out a voice command, for example.

HTC Thunderstruck the Upcoming Concept Phone

HTC Thunderstruck comes with a pretty tiny display since it’s a tiny device by itself. What’s really interesting is that this model has a sliding screen.  Its heard that the display is based on LED technology and other specs include a 5 megapixel front camera, 8 megapixel rear camera with flash and a 1.7GHz Snapdragon processor.

There’s also a battery on board providing 7 hours of talk time. With such a look it is considered as a “HTC nano” model, one whose OS affiliation is uncertain just yet.

Nokia Searay: the Astonishing concept Phone

The Nokia Searay for T-Mobile Germany, that has just leaked. It is guessed we’ll see it for the first time officially at Nokia World 2011 at the end of October.

Till then the detail what we have here and the description in German says that the Nokia Searay offers 3D navigation, voice navigation, Windows Phone 7.5 Mango and a 3.7 inch AMOLED display, a 1.4GHz CPU, 16GB of internal memory and an 8 megapixel Carl Zeiss camera. Notice the huge resemblance in design with the Nokia N9, not that it’s a bad thing, since that look was very hot when it debuted. Also, it is hoped that the name Genesis won’t stick, since it’s not catchy and should be replaced with something like W8 or W800 or maybe N1.
