I love my Grafiti on my Android. I am less error-prone than with the keyboard virtual or real.

If the handwriting keyboard did two things, I would love it above rubies--if you could back up to any word and get the options you were given the first time (some times you don't see the error right away, and what you wanted would have been RIGHT THERE), and also if they privileged real words a little higher. If it offers a phrase with five correct words and one garbage, it's often hard to find an option with all six right, even though the sixth word is correct in other choices, they don't have an option where all six are dictionary words.

It does what swiping on any keyboard can't really do--it tries less hard to mush everything into a word, so you have to tap out things not in the dictionary. Which is fair enough.

Two unrelated questions:

1) Kindle users - is the Paperwhite screen much better than the E-ink? Reading the descriptions on Amazon I'm not sure i get what the difference is, besides price.

2) Anyone have any idea how I can get my Time capsule to back up my laptop again? It keeps saying "An error occurred while creating the backup folder." I tried googling troubleshooting that and nothing I found helped. Perhaps notably, I can't seem to compact the sparsebundle.

My Mini backs up to the same Time Capsule just fine.

-t, regarding the Paperwhite: yes the screens are different. I found the original kindle great to read on, as e-ink is as easy on my eyes as words on a paper page. The Paperwhite brings its own light source, but it's not backlit the way a computer or iPad is. It's front lit, with adjustable brightness. What it means is that I can read it on an airplane or in restaurants or at the beach or in bed without ever worrying about glare or a reading light source or bothering a bed partner with light being on. I love it.

Ah, thank you!

The Paperwhite screen is awesome - much better contrast than the e-ink Kindles.

I used NFC file transfer yesterday! Not for anything useful, just a test. It required two taps, which I don't know the normality of, and then boom! I had sent pie.

Android Beam is just bluetooth substituting for the pairing? And there's no ongoing relationship between the devices?

I bought Samsung TecTiles because I can't wait for the stuff I mail ordered to come in. These are the sort that stores the commands in the tag, and I don't know if that's why I can't get it working with Tasker. But the default NFC Task Launcher is Tasker-lite. I hope Tasker can read the ones I have coming in.

So far, all I've done is programmed an "I need to drive" program. So I should order that mount....

I love, love, love my Paperwhite Kindle! ND gave it to me as a belated birthday gift last year, and I use it every single day.

I love my Paperwhite as well. The backlit screen and long battery life and lightness/small profile more than make up for the difficulty I have in navigating the menus (due to the fact that it's a little difficult to page forward in a list of books without actually opening one of the books). The touchscreen has a hard time distinguishing between tap-to-open and tap-to-page-forward.

Touchscreen is why I went with the older-school kindle when I replaced mine in march. Though price was also a factor.
