Keypoint Releases New Adaptxt Beta for S60
Admit it, as much as you love your Nseries you would gladly trade it in this second for a QWERTY S60 handset that was just as capable spec-wise. It’s ok, so would we. We know it’s coming down the road but we need something to tide us over in the meantime. T9 is terrible as far as text input goes, but there are a few other options. Our favorite by far is Adaptxt. It’s been around for a while on Windows Mobile devices and a few months ago S60 users got their first taste of true predictive goodness. For those who don’t know, Adaptxt is an intuitive text entry system that not only predicts words for you, it learns how you write and predicts the current word as you type, the next word, phrases and even sentences. It really is a fantastic app. The initial release had some issues that lead to the application being pulled for a while, during which time Keypoint tweaked the app to work a lot better with third-party applications among other things. The result is a brand new version arriving just in time for CTIA. The new version is dubbed beta but don’t be fooled, our tests have gone very well for the past few days. What’s more, Adaptxt is a payware application but while the new release is in beta it is available for free during the trial period. Not for the standard seven-day trial mind you, we’re talking a full 90 days of free Adaptxt love. Granted, you’ll know you can’t be without it after 24 hours but hey, free is never a bad thing.
If it’s a free 90-day trial, why am I forced to enter my credit card details?
credit card? Sod that…
You don’t need to register or give your credit card details, direct link here:

there is a big BLUE button which says TRIAL. click on it. The bullet points at the top of the page explain it clearly.
Looks as though you now need to register (free) in order to get the 90-day trial. Worth it in order to get the extended trial period. I expect I’ll be hooked by the end of it. And the product price is in line with similar products for WinMo and PalmOS.
