    Does Shapewriter work on the SIII?

    Does anyone know if Shapewriter works on the S3? I have the apk from my DX and think it is far superior to the other swiping keyboards. (I don't have an S3 yet, probably tomorrow)

    OnTheFly Backup

    Has anyone tried this yet? I just installed it on my X and I backed up every app to the SD card. Seemed to work up to that point. Not sure how well it restores or anything though. It backed up in about 20 seconds. Just wonder if anyone has used it to any great length?

    Help Saving 'Themes' on X

    Is there a way, or an App that allows us to save the screen configurations /layouts , etc like on the Incredible? For those that don't know, the Inc has preset themes and you can save whatever layouts, wallpaper setup you come up with. So you can switch whenever the mood strikes.

    Help Anybody having trouble with voice input?

    It works for me for a bit but then I get the animated circle and the prompt never comes up. Then if I back out of it and come back into the keyboard, all I get is a click when I hit the microphone. The only way to get it to work is restart the phone.

    How old were the people you waited in line with?

    I was #4, the first 3 people in line at my VZW were close to 70. I thought that was pretty cool, I asked and the phones were for them. "Senior citizens, although slow and dangerous behind the wheel, can still serve a purpose."

    Scrolling News Widget???

    I'm looking for a news/sports news widget that takes up at least half the screen of the Incredible. I know there are smaller widgets out there but I'd really like one where I can see alot of real estate without actually opening anything. It can auto scroll or I can flick it . Heck, I'd even...
