[brlug-general] Word Prediction/Completion

[Joe Fruchey]

Thread hijack!!

The N800 looks pretty sweet, albeit pricey. The 770 otoh, I snagged on
woot.com last week for a mere $130. I am totally digging that thing.

Back to the word completion, though, I turned it off on the 770,
because inevitably, I would type something like 'to,' and press a
space, and I would end up with 'tomorrow' or something similar.

And the Maemo site is for developers, whereas the word completion is
built in to the custom OS (which is Debian-based).
