Jeff Wexler Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Interesting add-on for iPhone 4 for those who wish Apple had put a physical keyboard on the iPhone (it will never happen). NUU MiniKey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Capulli Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 looks nice. I've actually become quite accustomed to the on-screen keyboard. I'm pretty sure you can also use the Apple Wireless Keyboard with the iPhone 4. Its not very pocket friendly though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Visser Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 One of the biggest failings, and frustrations for me, is the soft iPhone keyboard. The constant poor spelling correction, repeat manual correction fighting against the built in spell checker (If I delete a word constantly and the autochecker repeatedly changes it... F-U phone, I don't want to spell it that way), and my poor accuracy in finger mashing sometimes, I do miss a hard keyboard sometimes. What is interesting with this product, not sure I'd use it with my iPhone despite my criticism of the soft-keyboard, is its advertised ability to work with any blue-tooth capable product, wondering perhaps if there is a BT to USB dongle that would work with this to use as a mini keyboard for production audio recorders that are compatible with USB keyboards already.

Tom Visser Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 I actually like spelling correction overall and think it does a good job generally... it is the only way you can get any decent speed... just sort of going with it and assuming that the checker will pick up the majority of the mistakes. It is when I don't mispell something and iPhone corrects it... fine, not every work, acronym, or abbreviation can be in the dictionary, then I go back to uncorrect it, iPhone corrects it again, I go back again to uncorrect it, iPhone corrects it again... this is the frustrating part for me, where I have to stop and press that tiny little "x" button to disable autocorrector. As smart as iPhone checker is, I would think that they should write some logic in there that if it detects you are undoing the autocorrector's work, it shouldn't apply the same correction over and over.

Bondelev Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 You don’t have to touch the tiny little X. You can click anywhere in the suggested word to reject it (very unintuitive). To accept the suggestion, just click the space bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, this has driven me crazy forever, and I could never quite figure out the correct/not-correct logic of the spelling suggestion mode. --Marc W.
