The beta has been reopened for v 3.0 and now supports honeycomb! I typed this using swype on my transformer and love it!

What's the difference between this and what is installed as standard?

Swype | Text Input for Screens

Swype provides a faster and easier way to input text on any screen. With one continuous finger or stylus motion across the screen keyboard, the patented technology enables users to input words faster and easier than other data input methods

But the transformer does that anyway

Looks like you failed to watch the demo, very different way to type.

Wrong,

What I fail at is seeing the difference.

ETA This was typed by swiping the keyboard on my transformer.

The Asus keyboard already supports tracing input. It is different from Swype in how well it works. Swype seems to be more accurate but has its own issues.

its a bit of a pita to backspace because of the keyboard lag, or to place the pointer in a different spot to delete a mistake, double tapping on a word to delete it is becoming my friend!

The Swype keyboard is very nice for Honeycomb. It works better than the version on my phone.

One notable feature with swype is that you can make the keyboard half the width and move it around on the screen. Big plus for tablets as swyping across the entire width of the screen would be cumbersome.

Love it, although I don't actually swype.
