Anyone else had the latest Android keyboard update pushed out to your tablet yet?
I already hate it: all the punctuation has moved, and I can't find anything... why aren't ' and " and - on the main page anymore?
What happened to shift and punctuation? Gah!

Yeah, I absolutely hate it. Worse, the update added a redundant shortcut bar at the bottom of my screen, neither of which can be removed. Execution also appears more jumpy.
I tried to roll it back, ended up doing a factory reset and losing all of my data, and in the end was forced to reinstall the new OS and learn to live with it. I was NOT a happy camper.

Long ago went with SwiftKey. Loved it, bought the full version.

It changed on SwiftKey yesterday - the numbers are now to the left of the punctuation.

You should get a blackberry, there the keyboard never moves...
I truly have not tested any 10 device, but the 9300 I own is an old phone very limited and sometimes it gets frozen...

The Android phone (a Galaxy Ace) I used to own had a strong tendency towards that now-so-fancy fisherprice-ish look

I thought it was swiftkey that had done that on my Galaxy 4S.
So it turns out it was Google - the bar stewards!
It was mighty annoying for a while as I tried to find the numbers as they were to the right with punctuation to the left.
They violated one of the, as far as I am concerned, inviolable rules of UI design - don't change the frickin' user interface input method without the consent of the user!

I use the one that comes with Google PinYin input; it's a lot better than the vanilla one, and less likely to be messed with.

Why is Dells online support such an Elephant-er to get to, the PC I'm trying to get an image for is not registered here, there or any-ELEPHANTING-where. (I know it is I registered it!). All I need is a hard drive image I can restore to the machine down grade it to XP reinstall my software and go. But no, it is an obsolete machine that is no-longer supported. I just need an old image, can I get to a human other than the Rock Star (?) non-employee, (I can see him Base Ball cap on backwards drink Jolt cola being down with the net kids) that has tried to help rather than a bill@dellpc.co.uk who could maybe help. It's poets day I'm outta here!!

sounds like you got ... VD? 
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun

Any reason why you can't just stick an installation CD in?

Now I have tried that (the second thing) but it restores it to Vista(!). The key it has on it is a Vista key, no mention of XP Downgrade. The issue is the double of that machine is on its way to the US (I think) and one of the cards wont work with Vista. (Don't ask! )

I see your Dell and raise you Asus. Tried to get support from them once, their online support was down for two weeks straight. Their phone support never picked up and asked you to leave a message so they could call back, which never happened. Sent about a dozen emails of escalating annoyance, never got a reply.
Great products until something goes wrong and then good luck.
