Texting is one of the most important features of any modern mobile phone. Even though many people still use their mobile phones primarily for calls, a growing number of people prefer to communicate through texts. Texting can be done discreetly, so you need not step out of the room in order to send a message. When you get a call during an inappropriate time such as a meeting or a movie, you have no choice but to hang up or quickly tell the caller to call back later. On the other hand, when you receive a text, you can simply store it and then reply later in your own time. When it comes to texting, you also need not worry about noise or signal.

If you have a mobile phone that runs on the Android system then you might want to check out ThickButtons which is available at the Android Market. This app uses predictive technology in order to predict the letters you will type next when texting. These letters then become enlarged so you can easily press them while the other letters shrink in size. Phone experts conducted experiments with this new Android feature and discovered that the app may actually backfire on itself. Instead of speeding up the typing process which is the app’s goal, the app may even slow down some users who are used to texting rapidly. This is because power typists have already mastered the positions of keys in a particular keypad. When the letters are constantly changing sizes, the typist could easily press the wrong key.

However, you should still check out this feature and see how it holds up to Swype technology which many texters still prefer.
