Is SwiftKey X Beta the best Android keyboard around .. I think so.
A couple of days ago I installed the new Beta of Switkey keyboard on my HTC Desire Android phone and must say I am impressed with it. It is now called Switchkey X (assume the X is for next generation). Here is a screenshot of the keyboard using Tweetdeck (my other favourite Android app).
What I like about this keyboard is that it looks at your Facebook, Twitter and gMail and learn your language style. Although I started off with US English, it quickly adapted to my style of language including all the Afrikaans words I am using.
Here is an article on Android and Me that have a writeup on it. Also this Youtube video gives a very good introduction to it:
The app is currently in beta so it is free in the Android Market. When it moves out of beta and become a paid app then I will definitely buy it.
You should give SlideIT a try as well. Its the only keyboard that actually comes with an Afrikaans language pack. Its R30 or thereabout but there’s 15-day trial so you can give it a test drive.

In my opinion, there is better keyboard than swype. Is far better than swfitkey and slideIt which i have in paid version. But once you spent 1week with swype and fully understand how it works there is no possible argument about it.
“there is no better keyboard than swype” is what i meant to write
