Comments on: iPhone not sweet on 'neat'

Sometimes technology goes a little too far; the iPhone's character prediction software offers a fine example of that.

I've always noticed I had trouble typing in certain words but I never realized it was the phone and not me ^.^;;

Well my first gen iphone with 2.2 indeed will not type neat. And after experimenting a few times I found a bunch of other words do the same thing. Glad to know it isn't just my bad typing ski

Just to add my 2 cents, I think the article is directly referring to the predictive text software. Since 2.0 I believe you can turn this off. I had a 1st gen Iphone and hated typing on it because of this kind of thing. Once I got the 3G i turned this off and things have been much better aside from the keys being too close and i miss type. So if it gets too annoying just turn it off.

Wouldn't it be neat if Apple software programmers could anticipate every permutation of keystrokes that every person on planet earth could possibly type in every combination? It would be so neat to hold a product that is only two years old to the highest standard possible, while ignoring the flaws of absolutely every other non-Apple phone. And isn't it neat that cnet has found yet another iPhone controversy to put on their front page for click-bait? That is so super neat.

I bet you didn't type that on an iPhone. :-)
