The best keyboard app in the game is about to take a major leap for 2012. Swype has announced on Twitter they will be unveiling the beta release of the Ice Cream Sandwich version of Swype by the end of the month:

“Good news! Official ICS support is near. Final tweaks and testing should be done in time for an anticipated end-of-month beta update.”

Yes folks, the real version is on its way. Sure someone was crafty enough to get Swype working on ICS devices before, but something about having the real thing just puts us at ease. Ice Cream Sandwich suddenly looks even more appealing now that there's an official version of Swype on its way.
