I hope so... I've been itching for an update to add simple features like auto-cap, and returning to the letter screen even if you close it on the number screen. I think Swype is better designed than Shapewriter. It just needs to be refined a bit.

Sounds like T-Mob is supplying it, not Google.
But i could be misinterpreting it.
