It is not in the market, you will have to go to their web page to find out.

I was wondering the same thing. I am currently running version 1. Anyone have anything higher than that?

It's not available on their website, it's available here:
Leaked: Swype For Android Beta Unofficially Available For Motorola Droid

What we are asking is if that has been updated.

v1 here as well.

Anyone else have anything different?

if it has been updated then the new version hasn't been leaked yet.

is there an updated link - I am running 1.0 and very interested in an update, but recognize that it will have to be leaked for us to gain access to it. Very interested.

Why do we need an updated version of Swype? I've been using the leaked one for the past 2 months without issue. It's great. Tonight I rooted my phone and it seemed so strange to use the default droid keyboard until I was able to reinstall Astro and get Swype installed again. I don't find the current version of Swype to have any bugs or anything.

Fair question, for sure, I have had no issues either, for me, I guess it is just to ensure that I am up to date on any new features, not bugs, that they have out there.

I really do like using Swype as is. In fact, I noticed today that I started trying to swype on my work keyboard. . .

There is a popup, and while configuring the settings it will tell you that this version is not compatible with your screen resolution, ignore it, it works great.

From what I can ascertain the guy who originally published this took the HVGA update and edited the graphics and xml files so that the app could work on WVGA devices (ie N1 and Droid).

This version does have quite a few fixes and enhancements.

I will have a mirror up shortly in case this dl link goes *poof*....

Here's a better mirror. http://web.me.com/ardoreal/Swype-Swy...2.5228.219.apk

I am having troubles accessing the .apk. I was attempting to grab the .apk and send it to my Droid from my computer but I am unable to access it. Any help or guidance is appreciated.

i've been using swype exclusively since it was first leaked....until the guys at xda released the HTC IME keyboard (you'll want v9). This keyboard is lightworlds away from anything i've typed on on a touchscreen device, i can type so fast and accurate i've disabled swype. I've also noticed a performance increase when using it compared to swype as well.
