Swype wow !



Wow ! this is what I call an
amazing innovation in touch keypad called - swype.

If typing on your touch screen mobile has not been a comfortable task for you, Swype is here to change that forever. It is a keyboard which looks almost like any other keyboard but it has one difference which makes it unique. The difference is how you type text.

You trace a path across the letters that make the word you want to input. You can use your finger or stylus, but without lifting it from the touch screen. You do not have to touch each letter of the word you want to input. Staying close to the letters while tracing the path is good enough. Swype recognizes every path you draw as one word and types it
| Excerpt

Swype’s word recognition accuracy will surprise you. If Swype does not understand a traced path correctly or if you traced a path carelessly, Swype displays all possible words matching the traced path. Just tap the right word and that is it. Be careful that you do not lift your finger until you have completely traced a word.

To input a double letter in a word, just scribble on the letter and carry on with the rest of the word. You can also add your own words in the in-built dictionary

HD2 - The head turner !

Buzz Burped !

Google Buzz has demonstrated precisely why - and how - engineers really shouldn't be let loose with human relationships.This, of course, is the failure of the engineering imagination to deal with the reality of human interaction.

Google tested Buzz internally a great deal before releasing it (the product was called "Taco Town" during testing) but the weakness of that is that it doesn't have many people who really hate each other internally. Or perhaps none. And of course stalking would be the sort of thing that would lose you your job at Google.


It's when you get into the grey outside world though that the black-and-white certainties that Google thinks it can apply to search (but which it actually tweaks repeatedly to stave off the people trying to game the search results) break down. And quickly.


We can hope that this real-world example will demonstrate to Google that it has made a real mistake by not letting people opt very carefully in to Buzz. But the question is, will it? |

HTC HD2 tablet :)


My new HTC HD2 tablet :) Great form factor, quality and ease of use is what made me chose it over Nexus-One.

From how it looks and feels to how the phone does everything you want it to do in a simple and natural way, HTC HD2 pushes the limits of what we have come to expect from our phones | via HTC excerpt

Why I call it a tablet ?

I don't know why anything is called as a tablet. Pardon my ignorance :), I assume any product which is tiny, slipable, usable, movable and carryable quite easily with new-age features. Yes, all that is possible with Leo a.k.a HTC-HD2

It's tad bigger than iPod, shade smaller than apple-tablet, wider than Nexus-one, has GPS, wifi- what apple tablet lacks, lovely 5mg pxl camera what iPod lacks, lean-figure what Creative-Zen-W lacks, mean and sturdy what Acer-neo lacks, and I call it a true tablet with 1GHz processor in such a mean machine. More over, it's geared up for Winmo-7 sooner or later :), it's a perfect lean tablet not a bloated iPod turned into a tablet.

It's stylish and I'm with it :)

HD2 delivers an experience your senses have been waiting for. The unprecedented 4.3-inch pixel-packed display is stunning. The world’s first capacitive touch technology on a Windows phone along with 1 GHz processing power ensure a smooth and lightning-fast response to the lightest touch of your finger.| excerpt
