LXer: Everything you need to know about Android 2.0


Published at LXer:

Android 2.0 (formerly codenamed 'Éclair') is the latest evolution of the mobile OS developed by Google and the Open Handset Alliance.

I think I am catching "DROID FEVER".

From the article:
"Android 2.0 also improves the virtual keyboard, which has always lagged behind the Apple iPhone's QWERTY keypad in terms of usability. The Android keyboard has a narrower layout, with smaller virtual keys that are harder to hit accurately when typing at speed.

The iPhone combats this by invisibly enlarging the so-called 'landing area' of certain keys as you type. This is based on a probabilistic analysis of the word that you're currently typing and by guessing the letters that you might be pressing next."

I wondered how Apple did that.
