Slash Gear says iOS 8 gets swiped!
I love Swift Key

You type pretty fast. You'll like it. It's a different approach, but once you get used to it, which doesn't take long, the one-key-at-a-time feels so archaic...

@technobabble Swype was the example listed in the iOS 8 announcement as WWDC back in June. Everyone who watched knew it was coming.
@ajstringham it IS predictive or it would have no idea how to figure out what you are trying to type by swyping.
I am neutral to the keyboard functionality itself. I tried it, for days. I did not grow used to it. My boss loves it. Different people use devices differently. It is people like @ajstringham that blindly spew about how things are "better" that piss me off.
-
I prefer the old fashioned key by key style. They are both predictive so not all that much different. One is just way more familiar as I have 33 years of typing experience.

I updated last night, I haven't gotten to far into it. But it appeared that it only need about 900MB.

Yeah, that was the download size. i reckon they want free space for swap files and the like. may also store a local "backup" before pushing the update.

iOS 8 kicks ass!
My wife just called me and my iPad rang!! I have an iPhone 5 and iPad 4 both upgraded to iOS 8 and I did not realize that the new features for this were available on them. I thought it was the iPad Air and iPhone 5s that got these new Handoff features.

OK that's kinda cool, your iPad rang.. if you had a bluetooth headset could you have taken the call?

Well, I had a wired headset plugged into it because I was watching a video a bit ago, so I just popped the earbuds in and hit answer. it was kick ass.

My MacBook Pro is too old and does not have the Bluetooth Low Power capability.

What cellular network are you on? Does your iPad have a cellular card?

The iPad is WiFi only. I am with AT&T at the moment. This is not WiFi calling, it is the handoff feature. So cool because I did not think my devices were on the supported list.

How does it hand off a phone call that is not on IP?

Call turns into WiFi. No call originates on IP. Or effectively none.

You'll have to add more explanation at some point.
