You mean the Swype?
Personally, I'm not happy with it but I think there used to be such app.

Thanks, Alice and Brent. I guess this is one of those things he'll have to get used to or go back to his old phone. Swype doesn't sound like an improvement over the iPhone keyboard if it makes more misspellings. It took me awhile to get the hang of tapping the onscreen keyboard back when I got my first iPhone (3GS.) Now it seems normal. But I must admit, when I'm writing more than a sentence or so I use the Apple bluetooth keyboard with my iPad. (Like now.)

Anyone can type quickly, if they don't care what their output looks like.
If one is actually trying to communicate, then intelligibility, coherence, and correct spelling are relevant.
If either the person's thought processes or their typing method or their hardware interfere with those factors, that is a BAD thing. If they support those factors, it is a good thing.

I use a an aluminum blue tooth keyboard made for the iPad 2 (http://www.amazon.com/Apple- ) I really wanted the ZaggMate keyboard but not for $99. The link goes to one that looks like the ZaggMate but generic. It works quite well for long emails and such. The iPad is a great piece of computer to have. I use it quite a bit. It's the perfect size for most things. I find it too big for texting unless I'm using a keyboard. I find I have my iPhone with me all the time and text from it mostly. I use my index finger and tape each letter. I've gotten pretty fast at texting that way. My brother still thumb texts on his iPhone. I tried that and the muscles in my thumbs started hurting pretty quickly. I'm sure that's because I'm not use to thumb typing.Aluminum- Bluetooth- Keyboard- Exterior/ dp/B005ISNC86/ ref=sr_1_ 5?ie=UTF8& qid=1325363678& sr=8-5

Have you tried iBook? I like it. I have the Kindle app also since some of the books I have aren't yet in iBook.
One thing about eBooks I don't like, is all the file formats. Everyone has reasons for why they've chosen the format they use and why other formats are not as good. Choice is a big deal to a lot of us. I'm just wondering why there can't be a universal format for eBooks that can be read by all or most of the eBook readers out there.

Just back up and ensure you have selected everything that you want. It is pretty simple and seamless. I was fearful of upgrading to.

I haven't had any problems upgrading to iOS 5 on my iPhone 4. I was a beta tester for it, so couldn't wait to upgrade to the full version. As everyone already said, backup before you upgrade just in case you have problems. I doubt you'l have trouble upgrading. In fact, I think you'll like it better than what you're using now. The notifications are unobtrusive now. That's one of the best things about upgrading. No more having your apps stop when a message comes in.

It is a program/app that allows you to download audiobooks, music,
ebooks, that you checkout from your library. You have to have a library
card, you use your library's online site to find the books and request
them. At My library the most popular books (audio or ebook) have a
waiting list just like for the popular paper version. When it's your
turn they send an email saying it's available for you to download.
Usually have a day or 3 to get it. You login to the library site, go
through the checkout process and then OverDrive is the way it gets
downloaded.
I use OverDrive on the PC and download to it. Then I can transfer, again
using OverDrive, the audio/ebook to a Zune, iPod, Phone or iPad. Can
also listen or read on the PC. When your checkout time is up from the
library, OverDrive on my PC will no longer play or transfer the file.
Lots of info on how to use OverDrive on your library site.

Sounds like a great program for those who want to borrow books instead of buy them. Problem for me is that there are times when I have lots of time to read and other times when I don't have much or any time to read. Therefore, I buy ebooks. I like owning my music. For me, it's better than paying a subscription fee to rent music. I know kids today listen to what their friends are listening to and when they get tired of it, they like getting rid of it. I'm one of the old people that doesn't tire of listening to tunes over again. I have a large iTunes library and sometimes I'll just go through the list and say "WOW! I forgot I had that. What a great piece."

It may be difficult to find out what ebooks are available at which libraries, short of going to each library's online catalog.
There is a central site, WorldCat.org, where you can search books, DVDs and other physical media to see where they're available. But WorldCat depends on each library to update and delete its holdings--this is pretty much automatic as part of the cataloging process for most libraries, but many (like us) don't carefully delete holdings from WorldCat as we discard titles--so you really always have to check the online catalogs of individual libraries.
Ebooks are more complicated, since they're acquired in big batches so they come and go at a moment's notice. I suspect most libraries won't be updating WorldCat for ebook holdings (especially now that budgets are being slashed).
And of course, library ebooks are only as available as physical copies would be--once a copy is "checked out", i.e. downloaded to a patron's device, it's not available to others until that patron finishes and relinquishes it or his time (2-3 weeks) runs out. We at Burbank normally buy 3-5 copies of hot titles (serving a city of 100,000). Books like Harry Potter or the Twilight series are exceptional, and even there we rely on gift copies to keep up our supply as worn-out copies are discarded. I doubt anybody will (or even could) give us their old unused ebooks. I have a couple dozen Kindle books on my iPhone that I'll never look at again.
A few publishers even treat an ebook as "worn out" after 25 uses and withdraw it, making the library buy another "copy". Yet some of our books have circulated 40 times or more and are still usable, while others may have to be retired after a dozen circs.
It's a whole new world. I'll pass on more info as I learn it in the online course on ebooks in libraries that I'm taking in January.

Cleaning switches.

The switches (power,volume, home,mute) on my well used 3g have become less responsive and intermittent. Has anybody made an attempt to clean them? The "genius" at the Apple store could only suggest a soft brush. Has anybody tried spray on contact cleaner or similar?

Safest route is to take it apart and clean up the insides, working
carefully with brushes, swabs, and clean cloths using a freon-based
contact cleaner, mild screen cleaner or just small amounts of water.
Alcohol used to be the go-to cleaner but some modern materials are
affected by it.
Take apart tools and kits are easily available on-line from the likes
of dealextreme, ebay, monoprice.
If you're willing to risk the device, you can spray contact cleaner
from the outside, work the cont6rols, and swab it all away as it runs
out. I am pretty sure that will not damage anything.

Android Blanket Statement

Leo Laporte, who says he's had every Android phone that's ever come out, said today on The Tech Guy, that if you bought your Android last year you may never be able to get the current version of the operating system. Is that true? Of course we all know that the Nexus Androids are able to be upgraded much more than the rest but can one make the blanket statement Leo did?

One inherent problem with an open operating system is that each hardware maker can (and usually does) tweak it to work in some "improved" fashion on *their* hardware.
It is then incumbent on the hardware maker to incorporate Google's Android upgrades into their version of the OS so as to propagate the system upgrade to their machines.
Do they?
Often not, and more often not so well.
Apple and iOS is a "closed ecology". Newest iOS upgrades may not be applicable to the oldest hardware, but, to take an example, iOS 5.0.1 works seamlessly well on the 4S, the 4, AND on the 3GS.
Of course, older hardware may not be able to take advantage of ALL the improvements in the iOS upgrade, but the ones that apply to the old hardware work, as noted, seamlessly.
