HTC improves software keyboard

keyboards

I love love love SIP’s on any device and it’s great to see a big dog like HTC taking strides to make their own keyboards better. I still think it could use some predictive text capability, though. I’m not really a fan of having to type out every single word with 100% accuracy on any keyboard. I did try the older HTC keyboard on my HTC TyTN, though, and it just felt kinda clunky and plain to me. Not a huge improvement over the default WM keyboard. This newer version, however, looks a lot better both in terms of usability and just visual design.

Sprint Palm Pre: No simultaneous data + voice

Resized 15

Ok, I’ve always been on a GSM network so this was a surprise to me. I thought those kinds of limitations were over and done with years ago. Sorry, you’re wondering what limitations am I talking about?

Well, I’m talking about the one where you’re chatting with a buddy on your awesome Palm Pre and just wanna do a quick look-up of a place to eat, but you can’t because your data connection is severed while you talk. I guess this might not be news to EVDO users, but it was a good excuse for me to act all shocked and appalled on the blog. I’m shocked and appalled! I’ll be waiting for the GSM version if I get one of these bad boys.

    GD910 Watch Phone From LG

    OK, this has officially become the next phone I want, if it’s waterproof, meat proof, food proof, and generally anything icky proof, that I end up up to my elbows in during my working week.

    Even though some sort of two way wrist communicator if you think about it, has been touted since the sixties, and thought a sci-fi creation, they have been making advancements in the technology. If you think about the evolution of the mobile phone, they started off huge, because that’s all they could be, but the trend in development led to miniaturisation, and in the mid to late nineties, cells almost became inconvenient to use because they became so small. Some how, we have come to a compromise format for mobile devices that takes in to account, a useable web access, multimedia device featuring all of the mobile phones usability. I’d still like that in a watch sized unit though!

    I’ve got a thing for a good watch, and if this thing performs, I want it, or at least to trial it, Are you hearing me LG?
