I have an iPhone and iPad and one of my top 3 complaints is how garbage the auto correct is. It's not just auto correct, it's how you have to hit the tiny [x] on the suggestion to dismiss it. The [x] is to small, its not near the keyboard, and on some web sites, clicking but missing can have unexpected results.
I also have a bunch of incorrect spellings that I have accidentally added - I can't edit remove these though.
I've been seriously considering getting an Android and this along with not being able to change the default email client and browser are the main reasons.
- xauronx 14y agoReally? I've not had any issues with the autocorrect. I agree that dismissing the auto correct can be annoying sometimes. I intend to hit the X and instead hit the word, so it corrects to that. However, I can type complete nonsense, a row off, and it figures it out. My coworker tells me his android won't correct "sre" to "are" (as my iPhone will) because it assumes the first letter is correct. This is a top of the line android device (not sure what the model is though).

I just tested this on my two-year-old HTC phone with android v2.3.4 and it corrected "sre" to "are" just fine. Any chance your coworker is using a non-standard keyboard (either by choice or vendor caprice)?
- runjake 14y agoGiven Steve Job's iconic quote about the stylus, it's rather sort of ironic that the autocorrect UI (eg. close x) on the iPhone is better-suited for use with a stylus than a fingertip.
