Do we want to enable Google's Swype technology? I have done no research on this, and am not even sure it is has an open source license. It would make text input much easier when the tablet is being held 9x16, or whatever the final long dimension is. Word completion. This is obviously a time saver for inputting text via an on-screen keyboard. In a learning environment this is also a big cheat/crutch. Do we have an administrative on/off switch? Just some thoughts I wanted to add to the keyboard discussion. -Jon _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
