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?
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

Trust my rage
I am having some serious problems that are, I think, Lion related. Seriously, my mac faith is being tested.
Anyway, I have this computer that is basically clean - new account, etc. I can't get Safari to open (it bounces three times and then does nothing) and when I try to reinstall Lion, it gets mostly done and then asks me if I'm sure I want to cancel (when I didn't touch anything).
Bottomline - without Safari I can't get to the Internet, mostly. Any ideas on how to make Safari work?
eta: I have managed to at least get Lion to reinstall which should get me on the right track.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
ita, I've noticed bad info on Flixter and I don't think it had anything to do with timezone or location. It just had wrong showtimes or showed the 3D showtimes as the 2D showtimes. It's really a bummer, because I like their interface and it doesn't crash all the time like the Fandago app did (for me anyway).

You can one-thumb Swype! I love Swype so much.
