Online Cantonese Input Method found this maybe it'll help i xant read or write chinese but i assumeyou can just copy and paste whatever you pinyin


in case you didnt know how to copy and paste, you want to highlight the phrase you want and then hold your fnger on the screen until amenu pops up that says copy etc etc then to paste hold your finger on the text box you want to paste to until a similar menu pops up and click paste. hope it works for you




i do miss the bb's ability to auto puctuate for me

terkan 11-27-2011 04:00 AM

thx but i rather actually be able to somehow input it.. the final version of os 2.0 better support more language.. i mean how the hell is RIM trying to market their stuff in asia when it doesn't even have chinese input??

btw the blackberry convertible leather case is on sale for 24.99 at the source last day today.. you can get it pm at futureshop for 21 bux + tax. good price on a leather case if anyone still need one.

Yes, this is one big drawback.

this is probably the gayest thing ever

i dont want to convert all my movie files just so that they will work on the playbook.
(i move my files to my touchpad from computer and everything works perfectly fine)

hoping someone comes up with a better video player for the playbook soon(or add some new codecs and shit to the exsisting player)


from someone that owns both a touchpad and a playbook

the touchpad has awesome 10" screen for viewing movies,browsing but asides from the wifi it lacks internet-tethering from blackberrys(i think androids and iphones have no problem tethering to touchpad)

and it feels like it weighs more then a brick or two


the playbook is awesome in size and portability,screen is preety sharp and crisp and the blackberry bridge is AWESOME for those that own a blackberry and would like internet on the go

however their power button,media player,OS ,no emails

are reasons why i think makes it shitty

i also hate the fact that i ALWAYS open up popups/spam by mistake while browsing on the pb ( the touchpad popup blocker apps are preety good)

overall

i still like my playbook better simply because its like 1/3 the size/weight of the touchpad and with the recent price drop

playbook<touchpad

I have the dock which is the same as the rapid charger. It does charge almost twice as fast. Totally worth it for me.

Have you gotten an email saying your playbook has shipped? (I'm not talking about your confirmation email, the one saying they got your order, etc)

I hope I get an email when they ship it out, with a tracking number...

Never ordered anything off their site before, so I don't know if they will?

Vansterdam 11-28-2011 02:02 AM
