Why have a clone when you can have the real deal =]

Swype if from the guys that created T9 is it not.

Zombie run is a good fun game that I've been messing around with recently. Makes a walk to the shops more interesting.

Does any know how to install pc companion I can't find it on my SD card? I think I might have been formatted!

Some questions regarding Swype:

I haven't installed a different keyboard app on Android before so Im not sure how it works. Does it replace your default keyboard, or do they all co-exist and you can pick your default.

Also, when using the Swype keyboard, im assuming you can turn off the "swiping" and use it as a regular "tap" keyboard; does it have correction/prediction that is as good as the standard HTC Desire keyboard??

Press and hold a text input box and you will be given an option to choose your default keyboard. This is on Android 1.5

I like the idea of Swype but I find it uncomfortable to use unless my fingers are proper greasy/sweaty. There just ain't enough slide most of the time.

you could also try SlideIt instead of swype and shapewriter, im liking this one at the moment

Use a lighter touch, brush your finger over the letters. You don't need pressure on capacitive screens.

OneTouch Timer - Awesome countdown timer to an alarm, best implementation i've seen. great for timing cooking.

Not a fan of swype either. I've been using htc_ime keyboard which is a lot better in my opinion.

slideit didn't work for me. I couldn't install a primary language. uninstalled..

I thought Slideit was rubbish. You coudln't even swipe over web addresses whereas in Swype I can go to Yahoo for example by swiping over "YAHO" then ".COM" - iit won't put an auto space between the domain name either which is neat.

Swype is just a lot better at picking up web addresses and names. It also looks much nicer than Slideit.

This.


I was using Hi MSN Beta but installed Ebuddy a few days a go and it's brilliant. Every IM support including Facebook, should have done it sooner.

Can you trust me what 'good' Andriod web sites you use. For the likes of GPS Software etc.
