Is accelerometer support for keyboard position available for SMS or IM?

I have been a RIM Blackberry user for about 10 yrs. I finally jump the ship (and carrier)and got 3g iPhone. It is a great device.
However one thing I absolutely hates is the typing on iPhone. I am used to typing with both thumbs when I was using BB. I only see accelerometer rotated keypad in few applications on iPhone. Unfortunately none of SMS or IM type application uses horizonal axis keypad (which will be extremely helpful). I figure that is when you could maximize real estate of keypad.
<Edited by Moderator>
See prototype of next BB 9500 screen keypad. Something like this will be easier to type ( http://crackberry.com/exclusive-first-live-pics-blackberry-thunder )

I came from a Blackberry too, and I regularly type with two thumbs on the iPhone. I had to first learn how to trust the auto-correction. I just type away and more often than not, it gets everything just as I expected. Knowing that, even if you only come "close" to the letter you want, it'll be right, helped my speed greatly.
After that, I just needed to practice. I started out as the video suggested... with an index finger getting used to the layout. Now, if I ever have the iPhone on it's side in Safari and the WIIDE keyboard comes up, I flip it back vertical because my muscle memory is so used to the narrow keyboard, trying to switch between the two is a hassle (especially because, in the wide view, my thumbs has to move SOOO FAAARR).
Sorry, didn't answer your question... no, there's no wide keyboard support for SMS or IM. One workaround might be to use the browser version of an IM client.

  • When will OAS 4.0.8.1 for NT be available for download?

    OAS 4.0.8 has been out for ages and 4.0.8.1 was recently
    released. When will OAS 4.0.8.1 for NT be available for download?
    Thanks.

    After I fixed some of the things I broke while searching for the wrksf failure, the PL/SQL Cartridge now works for me too. And, after failing to get the DB Browser to work by loading it into the SCOTT schema, I got it to work by loading it into SYS. (SCOTT can't see the DBA_* views so loading the DB Browser into the database failed.) I haven't tried any Java Servlets yet, but that's next on my list.
    If you want to try my wrksf workaround, rather than using Christoph's, here's how you can do it.
    1. Backup liborb.so in the $ORACLE_HOME/orb/4.0/lib directory, just in case something goes wrong.
    2. Using a hex editor, such as emacs hexl-find-file or ghex, to edit liborb.so, find the string "/proc/stat".
    3. Change the directory, "/proc" to something like "/pfoo" and write the shared library file back to liborb.so. You now have the required modified liborb.so.
    4. Make the /pfoo directory and cp /proc/stat /pfoo.
    5. Edit /pfoo/stat and duplicate the first line, which should be the cpu line. This will let the metrics parser handle it. Make sure that /pfoo/stat has read access.
    Of course, the values that the metrics code gets are now bogus, but that does not seem to be a fatal problem.
    Hopefully somebody from Oracle is reading this and the real fix will be in the mail soon.

  • Is there a camera profile for Nikon D80 available for Photoshop/Lightroom CC

    I am new to Lightroom and Photoshop. After watching a few YouTube instructional video's for Lighroom I looked for my Lens (Nikon 18-135 Zoom) but could not see one. One video suggested looking in Photoshop, there I can find the lens but not my camera. Several video's talk about downloading profiles from the internet, is there a place to do this for either?
    Is a camera profile even used in Lightroom ?

    Thanks, this workaround works:
    I copied appropriate lens profile from (the .lcp file)
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/LensProfiles/1.0
    to:

  • When will a horizontal keyboard be available for texting?

    when using safari on my iPhone, i noticed that the horizontal keyboard is much easier to use. when texting, it is hard not to make some mistakes, but with the horizontal keyboard i think that texting would be a lot easier. does anyone know if apple is planning on doing this?

    More than likely the SDK is for people to make applications, not modify Apple provided Apps. Think it will be Apple that will have to update the SMS program.

  • Is self servicing for hardware replacement available for Mac owners?

    Hello everyone,
    I would like to save a bit of time and teach myself a trick or two if the options are available.  I would like to replace the hard drive that is out of service myself and would like to know if apple support offer's self replacement kits or the option of sending the servicing parts.  Thanks for your time, for reading...
    Warmest regards,
    Vin ce Vu

    Without voiding your warranty? Only two things you can officially do is replace the RAM or replace the internal storage drive, provided the Mac is not an Air or a Retina. The rest is off-limits and Apple-only.
    That being said and if the warranty (base or AppleCare) is not a concern, you can do whatever you want with the thing and if you're handy enough with the tools, it may even survive to see another day. Visit IFixIt.com (hi-res picture based) or PowerBookMedic.com (video based) for how-to's on virtually any doodad inside, plus any replacement parts and specialized screwdrivers that may be needed.
    A fairly common verboten activity is battery replacement.

  • When will the pligin for RoboForm be available for Firefox 7.0?

    I use Roboform 7.4.2 extensively with Firefox but 7.0 does not have a plugin. Please provide information as to when a plugin will be available and how I might retreat to a previous version of Firefox where the plug in is available?
    Thanks for your assistance.

    Contact Roboform about the availability of an update for Firefox 7 compatibility. Based upon the past updates by Silber Systems, I would be surprised if they didn't have an update ready now.

  • Finally! T-SQL Reference for SQL 2014 available for download!

    With a mere delay of four month since the release, it is now possible to download the T-SQL Reference for SQL 2014 for your local copy of Books Online. Due to some reorganisations of the reference material on MSDN, the language reference was misisng from
    the initial download.

    SQL Server Language Reference with an Add option, which you should select.
    Now, SQL 2014 uses Help Viewer 1.0, which is very poor, and versions 2.0 and 2.1 which ships with VS 2012/2013 is much more pleasant to use. Thanks to SQL Server MVP Simon Sabin, you can get the SQL 2014 into Help Viewer 2.x in this way. Go to
    https://helpviewerredirector.codeplex.com/
    save the file to a directory. Open a command prompt in that directory and run "HelpViewerRedirector download". Then in Help View, go to manage settings, and select install content from disk. Browse to the folder and select the files you want to see

  • .config for Linux kernels available for X61?

    I was wondering if there is a site where I can find .config files optimized for the X61 features on recent Linux Kernels.  I have slimmed down my 2.6.26 kernel quite a bit and everything is working, but I am still wondering if I might still have extra stuff on kernel, plus one quirk on splash screen bootup that I cannot figure out.
    Thanks,

    Already running 2.6.26, huh? Risk taker!

  • Airport software version 5 for Windows not available for download?

    Hi, Apple.
    You're kidding, right?
    I can download the Airport 5 update for Windows, but that update won't run if AirPort 5 isn't already installed.
    Where am I supposed to get it in the first place? My laptop is very tiny, it doesn't have a CD-ROM drive.
    Don't bother replying to this.. By the time you read this message I will have already popped the CD in my Linux machine and copied the files over via SSH. Then I'll run the update.
    In the future, please make things easier for me.
    Furthermore, how about you update the Airport (N) itself so that it will add local machine's hostnames to the embedded DNS server? I mean, heck, you already have features that let me reserve IPs based on MAC address or DHCP client ID... Those machines in the least should be easy to resolve.
    Cheers,
    --Dave Loyall

    I suspect that Apple wants us to buy the Airport Extreme, or replace our Airport Expresses with Apple TVs. The AX is a wireless G/B product, and the new draft is N ... which is better for streaming larger media files.
    Anyway, you can try this for a Windows system:
    1. You will need a program called Less_MSIerables. Google it.
    2. Download it to your desktop and unzip that file (it should end up in your unzipped file folder)
    3. Now, download Airport Extreme software.
    4. Run
    5. A window will open that states "This Update requires AirPort Version 5.0 to be Installed".
    Don't exit from this window.
    6. <Vista> Instead, go Start ->start search and type in %temp%. Enter. <XP: use Run instead of Search and type in %temp%. Enter.>
    7. You will see a file folder called something like IXP050.TMP (the number varies)
    8. Open it.
    9. You should be able to see a file called APsetup.msi.
    10. Click your mouse on it, but don't open it.
    11. At the top of the window you will see the address of this file. If not, click the yellow file folder in the address bar. Copy that address.
    12. Next go to the folder in which you saved the unzipped version of Less_MSIerables
    13. In a subfolder you will see a file called Lessmsi.
    14. Right-click on this file
    <Vista Only>
    15. Go to properties.
    16. Go to compatability.
    17. Run in XP Mode
    18. Apply
    19. OK
    20. Again right-click on icon.
    21. Run as administrator.
    <Vista and XP>
    22. In the window that pops up, paste the address of Apsetup.msi
    23. You will see a list of many files, but one of the first will be APUtil.exe.
    24. Extract this file to a location that you can easily find.
    25. A file folder will appear with a name like cab#APSetup.cab1
    26. Open that file folder and you will see a file APUtil.exe
    27. Click on that file, and the admin utility will open. You should be able to find your airport device.
    I suggest that you move this file to your desktop for easy access.
    If you are doing this for an Apple computer, there are posts on how to do it; and I think it is a good deal simpler to do.
    Peace out.
