I didn't see any reason for more than the free version. I'm mainly using it to put applications into related groups and sticking things in one place.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Finally got around to trying Swype, and I'm impressed.

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

It's the shit!

Hey. New board.

I have decided I hate slide-typing, but will probably keep using Swype as a tapping keyboard. It has the best sized buttons and best auto-correct of any keyboard I've found.

I tried that other one you recommended, ita !, the one that learns from your gmail, but it keeps giving me ridiculous predictions, often in Spanish, despite a total lack of having Spanish installed. And I don't like that it only shows 3 predictions, and if I accidentally autocorrect I can't go back to the word and see the original typing as an option, like I can with Swype.

This juxtaposition has the unfortunate effect of making me think Swype = toilet paper

Two ply, baby! Necessary, but nothing but the best!

I only used it for half a day, so I can't talk about any of the intricacies. I didn't give it any text to learn from, but it didn't give me any Spanish, and I also didn't choose any autocorrects by mistake.

move out and draw fire

I'm trying to build a playlist for my project at work, and I'd like my team to be able to collaborate on it. Are there any sites that let more than one person add stuff to a playlist?

Can anyone tell me if the Android tumblr app, when it says:

Multiple blogs: Seamlessly manage all of your blogs.

Means separate tumblrs, or just separate blogs under one tumblr account? Because I can't find any way to do the former, and it's too late to try the latter.

Also, an Android development question: My understanding for one of the reasons you shouldn't use an app killer with Android is that apps are by default suspended when you switch away from them (effectively closed, but with their state saved so they can be restarted in place), and "killing" them dumps the state, so they need to reset when you switch back which takes extra time and juice. Unless you're an app that deliberately runs in the background, like a call or music. Is this correct? I can't find where I originally read that.

At least, that's how apps are supposed to behave. There's no guarantee people will write according to those guidelines.

Raq,
