It's telling me the release date is July 22. I don't know why it would use the typing dictionary to determine your country, but maybe it actually is that badly programmed. Is there a fandango app? I used to use that on my iPhone and liked it exactly as much as flixster.
I don't really have a security blanket... unless you count Mr. Pointy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is there anywhere else I might have said what country I'm in? I can't think of one. Regardless, the GPS should trump whatever country I might have said I'm from.
Let me go look for fandango.

check the app settings and see if there is a secret in there. do you log in? did you set your timezone correctly?

My timezone is set for LA, yes. So that is another small hint about where I am. And the app settings have me in LA, right zip code. There's nothing on the general Locations settings tab that indicates a locale.
I've noticed some weird omissions in the Swype dictionary, and no obvious way to edit it. It doesn't have days of the week, for instance. And it's really difficult to get it to register "that's" over "that'd". Insanely. I wish it were more readily tweakable. It's a great interface.

Hey. New board.
I can't get used to Swype. I really like the advanced keyboard that came with my HTC phone, though. I don't like that I seem to be REQUIRED to add things to the dictionary in order to avoid auto-correct annoyances though - why can't I just override without adding for weird names and things I don't expect to use again?

Is that for the HTC keyboard, or Swype? Because neither of my versions of Swype work that way.
I like Swype a lot. I still use the mechanical keyboard on my G2, but I'm quite happy with it on the Tab--I hated the default keyboard and the others I tried. And I cannot get the hang of typing on my iPod Touch.

Hey. New board.
The default HTC keyboard is where my problems arise. It's not a huge deal - it's actually how the iPhone keyboard works, too, though it doesn't hit you over the head with it with a "word added" message the way the HTC one does.
I could probably get used to Swype if I really tried, but I've been an iPhone user for so long that a normal tap keyboard is my point of least resistance. I'm really fast with it, so why change?

I don't see how really fast tapping could be faster and more accurate than really fast swiping, but I totally get inertia.

Hey. New board.
Well, I can easily use two thumbs to type with a tapping keyboard. Don't think I can two-thumb swipe.

Lack of Swype is my biggest frustration with the iPad.
