Something else that bugs me… Some great minds have worked really hard to improve on the old hissing and cracking vinyls and eventually created high quality audio CD, now is with all this technology you would have thought that we would get better quality audio and video for that matter? Nah, instead we listen to low bit rate .mp3 and watch YouTube videos on tiny screen. Strange.

I always spell out things in my text messages, and the worst I'll ever do is leave out an apostrophe or random punctuation mark. It's just a pain to search for an apostrophe without a full keyboard.]]>Nov 12th 2007 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/cre8txt-keyboard-translates-sms-slang-to-english/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/cre8txt-keyboard-translates-sms-slang-to-english/Nov 12th 2007 6:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/cre8txt-keyboard-translates-sms-slang-to-english/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/cre8txt-keyboard-translates-sms-slang-to-english/Nov 12th 2007 9:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/cre8txt-keyboard-translates-sms-slang-to-english/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/cre8txt-keyboard-translates-sms-slang-to-english/
This is RIDICULOUS. I had to lean to text wicked fast.... because I spell out everything. Every time. sometimes I wish I didn't, but I do.

For the $$ to afford a phone with a full keyboard.... *sigh*]]>Dec 28th 2007 4:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/cre8txt-keyboard-translates-sms-slang-to-english/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/cre8txt-keyboard-translates-sms-slang-to-english/Nov 12th 2007 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/cre8txt-keyboard-translates-sms-slang-to-english/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/cre8txt-keyboard-translates-sms-slang-to-english/Nov 12th 2007 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/cre8txt-keyboard-translates-sms-slang-to-english/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/cre8txt-keyboard-translates-sms-slang-to-english/Nov 12th 2007 5:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/cre8txt-keyboard-translates-sms-slang-to-english/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/cre8txt-keyboard-translates-sms-slang-to-english/

It seems like this could easily have just been a software plugin to standard applications (Word, Firefox, IE).

Is this some new anti-pirating scheme? (Old actually, In the Commodore 64 days, a certain piece software needed a little authorization chip connected to the computer to run, and you could copy the disk as much as you liked...)]]>Nov 12th 2007 4:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/cre8txt-keyboard-translates-sms-slang-to-english/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/cre8txt-keyboard-translates-sms-slang-to-english/Nov 12th 2007 4:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/cre8txt-keyboard-translates-sms-slang-to-english/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/cre8txt-keyboard-translates-sms-slang-to-english/
