Nice iOS6 Breakdown Preview

Of course. If you replace discussing with trolling you'd be spot on.

How nice this forum will be if no-one scream "Troll" everytime their ego gets bruised or their opinion differs from others.
Just check post #4 and post #7. What caused them to yell out: "Troll"?????? Nobody before them was trolling, just raising an opinion. And the people called trolls are Apple owners by that.

Edit: Is this what they call: Ironic?

I refuse to believe that the majority of iPhone users are aware of how good Android has become. Every one of my friends, with or without iPhones, who have played around with my phone are very jelly. Typing is a huge part of cellphone use, and you'll never see your iOS keyboard the same way again once you've experienced what a difference a good keyboard can make.

I have a nexus 7, a Galaxy S2 and a ZTE Blade 2 (running JB, ICS and GB between them). Last week I got a S3 as my upgrade, and kept it for 1 week before selling it and banking the cash till the new iPhone launches.

The main reason I've put the money aside to buy the iPhone 5? The keyboard. Not one of my Android devices can match the accuracy and ease of use of the iOS keyboard of my iPhone 4 and iPad.

I've tried stock as well as any number of keyboards from the market, I've bought thumb keyboard from the market, none work as well as iOS. Every sentence ends up with mistakes and worse, the mistake correction is much easier on iOS, as is copy and paste.

I'll probably keep my iPhone 4, it's jailbroken and full of useful apps, but I think an iPhone 5 will replace the SGS2.

I disagree, I used to have iPhone4S, best phone I ever had. I sold it so that I can have a Lumina 900, it's not a bad phone, I like the windows os but the screen was terrible compared to a Retina on the iPhone. I returned my Lumina to get HTC One X, the phone is a piece of $hit, I can barely reach half a day without the battery dying on me, widgets are nice but I don't have any use for them, the HTCsense keeps on rebooting all the time. The android experience on this phone is not a nice one, typing sucks and in no ways compares with iPhone, I can't even use the phone with one hand, it's so gigantic.

By the way, I have iPad(1st gen), iPad(3rd gen), BB Playbook, iPod Touch(4th gen), Kindle Fire, HP touchpad, Nexus 7, SGS(1st gen) and Nokia Lumina 900(wife's) at my house. Even with Swype on android devices, I always prefer typing on apple devices, it's so much better.

Need some customization options in iOS6. Freshen up the aesthetics of the interface.

You're one of the very few to do that ...

A mistake I think, but we'll see how it works out.

I can touch type on my ipad on screen keyboard in meetings. My android devices aren't even close to that level of accuracy. I will see when the Sony arrives though, planning on making it my primary tablet for a while at least. Or maybe I just buy the keyboard case they're selling for it.

In general though, I know the iOS interface hasn't changed much over the years in the basics but it is still extremely well engineered, and I'd say from a solidity pov still ahead of jelly bean. Some touches like the home screen folder animations are far more ambitious than anything in the jb ui. Then again the google apps are looking better and better every iteration.
 
What accuracy are you guys talking about?

I press 'H' and it types 'H' and my iOS and Android?
Same with 'E' 'V' 'I' and 'L' ... they both type what I press?

Does iOS have Swype?

I was wondering the same thing.
Even more so, was wondering why people still "tap" in the age of the touch screen. Swype is far more efficient than tapping.

Each to their own I suppose.

That swype is frigging amazing. Used it on my desire for a bit. Takes time to learn though. Got impatient with it and went back to conventional methods.

There's a version for iPhone but not all that polished.

I find typing inaccurately on the iPhone more forgiving compared to my desire.

Think we were talking stock keyboards. I'm now touch typing this on the iPad, which I would think is even faster than swype because I can use all my fingers. I'm probably hitting 60+wpm, would be good to test though. Swype on a phone though is probably better than a standard phone kb, even a very good one, because your finger never has to leave the screen.
 
Am I the only one who uses voice dictation? :)

Agreed, it does take time (and patience) to get it down. It took me a while to get the hang of swyping.
I think I tried and left it 3 or 4 times before I decided to just push through and learn you use it. Now I can't tap anymore :rolleyes:

I think so :D

I have tried it a few times but it always gets it wrong. Think maybe I talk funny :rolleyes:

I also do most of my forum reading/writing late at night. Think the wife may cut them off if I sit here talking to my phone for an hour at midnight every night :D

Maybe it has problems with SA accents - I know I do. . . :D

Voice dictation is awesome when it comes to entering long strings of numbers or letters like credit card info. I'm looking forward to having full blown siri on the iPad.

Yes, aye think yew are the own lee won hew yew sis id :)

I still feel like a dork telling Siri to call my wife or wake me at six in the morning. But actually having to talk into the gadget for long stretches comma being very careful to put in the punctuation punk tooo ashion oh well I'll fix that later comma is a little tiresome full stop oh wait this thing is set to US English that should be period :)
