Auto grammarise

So at the moment iPhone/Android/Windows Phone all have some variant of autocorrect. Autocorrect notices when you spell a word wrong on a touchscreen and guessing what you might’ve been typing. So for example I just typed ‘sprll’ and when I hit space after the second l it correct to spell. It’s a great feature for using touchscreens and occasionally it can get annoying when you’re trying type a name of something or some sort.

With the next variant of iOS I would like to see Apple do something even better. Add in letters for teenage typers. There isn’t much I hate more in this world thn ppl who txt lyk dis. Why do that? It makes you seem like an idiot. It doesn’t sound cool, it doesn’t make you gangster.

How awesome would it be that if people text like that the iPhone would automatically correct it from ‘txt lyk dis’ to ‘text like this’? I feel like all the adults in the world would thank Apple immensely.

How odd, Verizon have decided to start pre-orders for their version of the iPhone at 3AM in the morning. What’s that all about? I mean I get that there’s time differences across the US but you could at least make it at a reasonable hour for all. Who’s going to get up at 3AM to buy a phone?

Damn you iOS and your inability to work alarms! You’d think after the daylight savings fuck up they’d make sure it never broke again but nope they’re not working again.

One thing I wish Apple’s Game Center did was sync game saves across devices. If I start a game on my iPad I want to be able to continue it on my iPhone if the game is available in the same form. Since it’s all tied to your iTunes account I don’t see why it isn’t possible apart from being bandwidth intensive. Perhaps thats one of the features coming in the revamped MobileMe next year? With their spunky new data center opening soon there’s no “we don’t have enough bandwidth” excuse any more.

I just finally beat Tim in Words With Friends. The word I used to clinch my victory? Leet. Ohhh yeah.
