Will Apple ever offer 8pen as an alternative keyboard?

Will Apple ever offer 8pen (www.8pen.com) as an alternative keyboard on the iPhone?

First of all, no poster here is privy to Apple's iOS development plans, so we cannot possible know what they may or may not include (and any member who may legitimately know something would be restricted by a non-disclosure agreement to not discuss it).
However, I doubt it.  Custom keyboards are not an option on an iOS device as the operating system restricts those sorts of key OS features to what is built in only (rather than let developers change out or alter basic or core features of the OS).
Since 8pen is basically a handwriting/gesture recognition app, it would be up to 8pen to work at developing an iOS app, but it would not be able to act as a universal alternative keyboard to replace the base iOS one.

  • Will Apple Ever Offer Music @ ITMS in Apple Lossless or Other Such Format?

    It's galling to me when I look at the stacks of full-quality albums and CDs I've purchased over the years and then consider the apparent "way of the future" which is lower-quality music purchased on the ITMS and other (more lame) music stores.
    I am 99.9% sure that the reason is the record companies who fear any loss of control and who are hard at work writing new viruses to infect our PCs and Macs with if we dare buy music the "old fashioned" way via CD. Sure, there are ways around those DRM schemes to control our computers, but it just seems that once again, the consumer is the slave to the corporation's desire to control everything at the expense of the consumer's rights.
    The day of the audiophile is fast dying I think. Music on ITMS should be sold (as an option) in Apple Lossless format or some other lossless format so music lovers can then convert them into whatever format and size that best suits their needs as music lovers and not the shadowy corporate thugs who fear every customer and every digit they don't have complete control over.
    I think Apple has done a spectacular job getting us this far and I hope Steve Jobs and Apple will continue to push the dinosaurs over at the Fascist Recording States who control most of the artists and most of the music.
    One promising sign is artists who are banding together to sell their music directly to us, their fans. I look forward to a day when artists will control their own fates and their own music and we will be able to download our music at full quality. Yes, there will be piracy, just as there always has been, but we should err on the side of freedom and not control. A way for artists to be compensated can be figured out and in the long run and, I am sure, they would be MUCH better compensated than they are now in the corporate stables where hugely popular stars often retire penniless because of the egregious contracts imposed on them by their consciousless corporate masters.
    How do you think the future of digital music will unfold?

    I'm not really looking for a reliable answer as such, just offering my thoughts on the subject and wishing out loud . . . user2user.
    And if anyone has anything interesting to say on the subject, I'd love to hear their thoughts as well. I think Apple should offer lossless recordings, don't you?
    . . . but I think I understand why they don't at this point.
    I know that such conversations do break out here from time-to-time.

  • TS2755 When will Apple ever make it convenient for the customer, I just bought an iPad Air and I'm very upset that I can only use iMessage, iPads are the biggest mistake to buy. I'll never buy another if I can text using SMS or MMS

    When will Apple ever make it convenient for the customer, I just bought an iPad Air and I'm very upset that I can only use iMessage, iPads are the biggest mistake to buy if you like texting family and friends. I'll never buy another one if I can't text using SMS or MMS.  Is there any hope for a patch or new operating system to fix this issue, or an app to use with iPad Air

    Hi...
    Keep in mind Flash is a third party plugin not written by Apple. Apple is not responsible for incompatibility issues with the Flash plugin.
    Thoughts on Flash
    Try troubleshooting...
    Quit Safari.
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
    Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty ri.
    Cache
    Now try a video.
    BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safa

    You cannot magically support features on hardware that was not built with them. The actual wires and chips need to have the features.  You need a newer BT chip.

  • Will apple ever introduce saturation alterations?

    Will apple ever include a "saturation" button in which it is possible to alter the degree of colour on the screen similar to the brightness slider bar? Many complain that their screens lack the vibrant colours needed to really enjoy watching movies and playing their favourite apps. Including this feature could boost sales and popularity of all the iDevices,  including iPod touch which generally has a poor colour quality.

    I personally doubt it, but let Apple know of your concern here. They should have a Gamma adjustment to get rid of the yellow hue of screens too. Unfortunately, you have to jailbreak to do that.

    Will Apple ever consider expanding its keyboard on its mobile devises? We are endlessly having to punch in our multiple-symbol passwords and constantly having to switch between keyboards is frustrating. I think it's a good idea.

    If you want to enter your complicated password without a whole lot of keyclicks, you can do that right now!

  • Will apple be offering a trade in scheme for iphone4 to 4s for us still on lengthy contracts in the uk?

    Will apple be offering a trade in scheme for iphone4 to 4s for us still on lengthy contracts in the uk?

    I am not looking to terminate my current contract and neither am I complaining about still being tied into a contract.  I received my white i4 for free on my current contract.
    My question was maybe misunderstood.
    What I was trying to get at was, would apple take my current phone as a part ex? I would be more than happy to pay the excess.
    Other options would include selling my phone on eBay or to online companies that will buy it, add the rest of the cash then walk into an apple store and buy the 4s.
    But this method isn't very practical as I will be without a phone for a few days, whereas if apple offered this sort of scheme, my downtime without a phone would literally be the time it takes to switch the sim in their store.

  • TS4611 I have just received my second MacBook Air 11" the Wifi connection keeps dropping. Also after 3 meters away it keeps searching for network! It is the second try and the same issue. Will Apple ever come up with a solution?

    I have just received my second MacBook Air 11" the Wifi connection keeps dropping. Also, after 3 meters away from the rooter it keeps searching for network! It is the second try and the same issues. Will Apple ever come up with a solution? There is a program pack for the connection issue but I cannot believe that this computer wifi keeps connected only while nearby the rooter!

    Applied this update?

  • Is there a norwegian dictionary in pages? If not, will apple ever make one?

    Hi!
    Since I'm norwegian, I often write texts and articles in Norwegian on my Mac. I currently have pages, but it bothers me that it always corrects my texts to swedish or english. So my question is, is there a norwegian dictionary for pages that I haven't found yet, and if not, will there ever be?
    Sincerely, Lise.

  • Will apple ever support flac already?

    Hi,
    Apple - Will you ever support flac on iTunes? Audiophiles would like to use this format with iTunes / iPod. I don't need to explain my case, its not competition, just a different popular format.
    Thanks.

    This is a user-to-user forum, and you aren't talking to Apple here. Apple don't announce their future plans, and I'm afraid no-one on here would have any information on this.
    You can send feedback to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html - you won't get a response but they do read all submissions.
