    I agree, the keyboard I am typing on is likely older than some of the posters in this thread.

    Model M or nothing!

    You can make that change yourself. I do on every computer I use. I map CAPS-Lock to crtl and crtl to capslock on linux on OSX I use caps-lock for crtl and crtl for command. I also use a Model M that weighs more than my Air.

    I thought they used the later toolings which were not as good. Do you know what model number M they are producing?

    How is the Model M not a home computer keyboard?

    They are still the best, since they don't die their period has not passed.

    This one I am typing on is likely older than many slashdot posters.

    It was designed to keep the arms the made the most commonly used letters apart, not to slow anyone down.

    I tried that one and my camera flash did not come one, only the screen which is not bright enough nor the same as what the apps do.

    Any other stupid ideas?

    Sounds like shitty application design.

    If you are running 2.x I feel for you. That device should be replaced by now.

    LTE is for all the time, that is why I have an unlimited plan. Even if not 45MB is still not enough to worry about. On my Wifi it would take even less time than over the LTE.

    That sucks, I run CM7 on my D1. I am currently running stock on my GN. So I was not aware.

    That ability already exists with apps and in some roms.

    Adding it to AOSP would be neat though.

    You bitch that this is not granular enough and that more granularity would be too hard. So you are pretty much fucked. No amount of design can fix your disinterest.

    Fine don't do those things, but then you are probably on the wrong website. You can stay, but don't be surprised when people tend to think those things are the norm. For many here they are.

    What 100MB max? Oh noes!

    Or here in good design land we keep those dictionaries in separate apps and use the google market to get them.

    So then install CyanogenMod. It has this sort of functionality by default.
