SwiftKey's latest version of its popular Android predictive keyboard just went out of beta, but the team hasn't stopped there — version 3.0.0.302 adds support for Android 4.1 and by extension the Nexus 7. While both phone and tablet versions of SwiftKey 3 have been updated with various bugfixes, only the phone changelog mentions Jelly Bean, though it should work fine on Google's 7-inch slate.

The real question is whether or not the keyboard improvements in Android 4.1 are already enough for you — as we noted in our Nexus 7 review, Android now predicts your next words right out of the box. Still, SwiftKey certainly has its share of devoted users, and with the Nexus 7 seemingly in high demand we're sure many will be relieved to see the update.
