I'd like to write real briefly about a very useable feature on the Droid 2. Google has a feature which is now a universal input method which allows the user to speak into the phone (rather than type). Universal, meaning, it works in all applications.
I feel this offers some excellent advantages. If you're unable to spend time typing, you simply hit the "microphone" button and speak into the phone. It converts your speech to text in the same fashion as it does for voice search.
Some of the uses for this would be emails, text messages, memo pad entries.
I know a few people who would rather spend the time typing, as they prefer not to speak into their phone.
As for myself, I think it is a wonderful feature and have started using it for quick replies sent through text messages and emails.
I do, wonder, however - the legality of talking to you phone while driving =)
Everything Mobile is all about mobile devices, applications, modifications, and the latest electronic trends. The blog started as a comparison between the Droid 2 and iPhone, and has grew to include other devices and software applications that are interesting, useful, and cool. I encourage comments, questions, and suggestions for you'd like to hear about - and if possible, I'll accommodate those requests. If you'd like, follow me on twitter @EverythingMoble.
