I prefer Swpye over SlideIt for keyboards

I used swype for a bit but eventually settled on swiftkey, at the start, swype is quicker but over time as swiftkey learns your way of writing it becomes uncanny good at predicting your next word. It's only a pound at the moment in a sale.

In other app news, I've been trying cardiotrainer and I like it a lot, if you have a google account it will also sync your data to your google health account.

Cardio trainer is good, used it a few times.

Rusty!

The Gingerbread keyboard is well worth checking out too. I've used it since early Dec and get on very well with it.

One question do you need any form of virus protection for a smartphone. I have unlocked rooted and suited my sanfransico with froyo 2.2, makes a big difference, runs faster and battery lasts must longer.

No - unless you are going to install pirated apps that you have no idea where they came from.

Angry Birds is like computerised crack cocaine.... I know its bad for me, but I just have to play it....
