I've some questions for Android users :-
1. Does it reads PDF files? If not, any free app.
2. Does it reads ODT files? If not, any free app.
3. What about MS Office files?
4. Does HTML mail, like newsletters etc, appear on it the way they do on a mail client?

Yes. Earlier this was an issue. however now there are either applications that work locally or may use workarounds to display the pdf file.
I believe Androffice may open odt files but I'm not sure if it is free or know the extent of its functionality.
Yes Word and Excel files work. Check out Documents to Go. There might be individual readers as well. And not to mention a range of server based rendering services.
Gmails client on Android does at least Im not sure about the other clients since I don't use anything else other than that. Of course you vould use the browser but then like expected you would see it as the way it was intended for a browser.

For pdfs there is a very popular application in the market called beam pdf reader.

Hey welcome aboard. I definitely think you made a good purchase. Be free to share your experience.
I have been using this keyboard for few days and this is really good! A very noble way of typing or shall I say swiping
Grab it from here and give it a shot. Its fun and surprisingly very very accurate. Don't forget to take the small (in- built) tutorial before you start using it. Install and have fun

P.S. I hope developers have patented this before Apple copies and counter sues them.
Hey i installed it on my spica..but i m not been able to find the location where it is installed on my cell...please help!!

Goto Settings-> Locale & text
Select Swype as default there, that's it.
if you want number pad then start swiping from the swype button(the one you see with a blue line in bottom left corner) onto anywhere on the keyboard.
For editing the word swype from the swype button on to sym button next to it.
It is confusing initially, but you'll get used to it in a couple of day's time

Thanks...will read it at leisure tonight while watching MI vs. CSK match (wow! what a contest this gonna be ).
Anyways since I was mostly on Cynogen's and now on SuperD's ROM one complaint that I always had from listeners from the other side was low call volume. After Googling I realized that the problem was more widespread than I initially thought. Anyways to cut long story short the fix is here and it works! Since applying the fix complaints have come down drastically. Apply the fix if you have a similar problem.
