It's official. Straight from the horse's mouth.
There is no language keyboard support for Chinese input. Booo! Booo! Meanwhile iPhone has keyboard support for both traditional and simplified Chinese.

ReplyDeleteIt will support Chinese input. And pretty soon too 'cause China or the Chinese [including overseas Chinese like you guys] are too big a market to ignore in the long-term. I'm rather chauvinistic sounding. I mean it will hurt the interests of Google's stakeholders if it doesn't.

ReplyDeleteYeah, it's such a deal breaker. What? No Chinese input? Fuggedaboutit.
Sid:
Android being an open platform, someday, somebody is going come up with some Chinese input. It's just that Google doesn't offer out of the box support so that's a disappointment and to some a deal breaker.
You're absolutely correct, pal. How could I forget that it's my favourite - free and open source software? Some geeks out there will fix that sooner or later. And more geeks will write up a lot of apps or games for NO - People's Power [or Creativity]. Many do not do it for money. I salute them here.
ReplyDeleteI'm ashamed of myself, pal. But what's the difference between an app and a widget? That's bothered me for a while. It seems they're pretty much the same thing, aren't they?

Well you are asking the wrong person. But I can give you my opinion. App or application used to refer to a computer application. Widget used to refer to any smaller computer application that enhance certain bigger computer application. But now, I think app takes on the meaning of a widget ever since Apple calls its iPhone application store App Store. They are I think widgets that enhance the whole iPhone experience.
ReplyDeleteI think widget actually means gadget too but I would never call a computer app a gadget.
The freedictionary has a pretty good explanation.
Thanks, buddy. No wonder my LG Cookie mobile phone still calls its apps widgets. Your explanation is very lucid and professional for a non-professional like me.
ReplyDeleteI like this explanation of widget by the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language 2000 provided by thefreedictionary.com: "A program that performs some simple function, such as providing a weather report or stock quote, and can be accessed from a computer desktop, webpage, mobile phone or subscription television service."
