In a new twist, PreCentral has come up with an interesting rumor which involves the ever struggling Palm and AT&T. It is being said that the once-famous Treo maker is working on a new webOS device known as Elan. Elan is expected to be a high-end all-touchscreen phone which if released will first hit AT&T and European GSM carriers.

A few other sites are also of an opinion that Elan is actually the other name of Pixi. However, according to the sources, AT&T is eager to join the somewhat dying webOS party and the GSM-based Pre has cleared the FCC hurdle recently. It is anticipated that Pre can be seen on AT&T’s store-shelves within a month or so.

Get Swype for Android

In a recent act, Swype is all set to make its interesting touchscreen keyboard available to select Android users in a limited beta.

Swype was created by the guys who invented T9 and it’s trying to be a new way for text input on touchscreen displays. Under this, instead of clicking on letters an individual can swipe his fingers in a continuous motion over the letter he wants.

Whatever an individual tries to write is quickly recognized by the software, even if he misspells it. If preferred traditional tapping method can also be used.

The company’s business model was originally licensing the technology to vendors, but the leaked versions have hit Android and it’s clear that there is some interest from the consumers as well. An individual can now sign up for beta and try it out for himself.  beta wont be having full features as the other one coming from an integrated handset maker but there will be limited customer support. An individual will be able to use it only if he has devices with HVGA and WVGA resolutions.
