I'm guessing Tablets and Phones. But, it would be interesting to see "set-top" boxes as well,... Think about it,... Android and Ubuntu Apps running side by side on the same machine,... Now pair that with an X86 version of Android & you have a full Linux distro that runs android apps (think Netflix, GoogleTV, etc.)... And to that add: VirtualBox, VLC, Wine (for those who absolutely HAVE to run M$ Office),... Maybe even a choice of UI... Now that's an M$ killer... |

Som knd a devolepor, dev-cies? Definitely not a spell checker. A search for "Devcies" says there are "mobile devcies", "Energy-based Devcies", "Medical Devcies", etc. |

As someone with both a native language and a few additional ones, I can certainly appreciate the effort someone takes to communicate in a secondary language. I try to spellcheck at least, but even then, mistakes can happen and go unnoticed. If I make language mistakes, I hope people will treat me with tolerance, and at least respect me for making the attempt. Remember, language errors don't necessarily reflect on the intelligence level of the writer. |

Not sure why; there's actually been real research into this. Basically, as long as the first and last letters of a word are correct, the letters inside can be rearranged and people will generally be able to read it correctly. Humans are very good at pattern recognition. |
