Swype have announced on their Twitter account that their application will be coming to Android Ice Cream Sandwich shortly.

Over the coming months a huge number of smartphones will be updated to Ice Cream Sandwich, so the developers need to get a groove-on updating their applications.

The Swype application is currently going through final testing and tweaking , so it should be available in the next couple of weeks. This is good news for those lucky enough to have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

For those who've never come across Swype it's an application that improves text-input on touch-screen devices. With Swype you can slide your finger over all the letters in a word and when you remove your finger a new word will start. This might not seem that great without using it , but believe us it saves a lot of time.

Ever since the folks at 3G tried Swype it's one of the first applications we install when we get a new smartphone.
