8pen is a revolutionary input method for Android devices. When it was launched last week in the Android market, it was available as a paid app with a price tag of $1.50. Yesterday, 3qubits, the developer of 8pen, updated the app to version and released it for free.

The update brings a number of user requested features. Among them mention may be made of:

• Auto-space is now optional and disabled by default.
• Voice input support (Android 2.2)
• Preview popup
• Better dictionary support.

You can see the complete change log here.

If you have not tried out 8pen yet, you should definitely give it a go now – after all it is free now. It is available for Android 1.6 and above in the Android market.
