        @JaredBusch Swype isn't hard. If you can type with both hands on a keyboard, it's no different. For those who don't know the keyboard very well, it's hard. For those who can type 50+ words/minute, it's awesome! I can do it one-handed with my thumb while driving on rare occasions when the situation calls for it. Swype is one of the biggest things that sold me on Android.

        It is a learned skill just like typing. It is a skill I think is a waste of time after trying it for a while on android devices. I have no desire to learn it. It is nothing but predictive text with a sliding finger instead of a finger tapping on the letter desired.

        It's not predictive. It simply uses the pattern to guess what word you meant. It's pretty accurate too but it gives suggestions as well. It's not really something you have to "learn" that much. You swype in a pattern, going from one letter to the next in the word you want to spell. I'm easily 50 words/minute on Swype, which is saying something for a mobile platform.

              but now you still have to go back tomorrow for the 6+, right?

                @ajstringham I prefer SwiftKey...it works for iStuff and Android and lets you Swype.

                      You type pretty fast. You'll like it. It's a different approach, but once you get used to it, which doesn't take long, the one-key-at-a-time feels so archaic...

                        @technobabble Swype was the example listed in the iOS 8 announcement as WWDC back in June. Everyone who watched knew it was coming.

                        @ajstringham it IS predictive or it would have no idea how to figure out what you are trying to type by swyping.

                        I am neutral to the keyboard functionality itself. I tried it, for days. I did not grow used to it. My boss loves it. Different people use devices differently. It is people like @ajstringham that blindly spew about how things are "better" that piss me off.

                          I prefer the old fashioned key by key style. They are both predictive so not all that much different. One is just way more familiar as I have 33 years of typing experience.

                            I updated last night, I haven't gotten to far into it. But it appeared that it only need about 900MB.

                              Yeah, that was the download size. i reckon they want free space for swap files and the like. may also store a local "backup" before pushing the update.

                                  iOS 8 kicks ass!

                                  My wife just called me and my iPad rang!! I have an iPhone 5 and iPad 4 both upgraded to iOS 8 and I did not realize that the new features for this were available on them. I thought it was the iPad Air and iPhone 5s that got these new Handoff features.

                                      Well, I had a wired headset plugged into it because I was watching a video a bit ago, so I just popped the earbuds in and hit answer. it was kick ass.

                                        My MacBook Pro is too old and does not have the Bluetooth Low Power capability.

                                            The iPad is WiFi only. I am with AT&T at the moment. This is not WiFi calling, it is the handoff feature. So cool because I did not think my devices were on the supported list.
