Charging Lithium-ion Batteries

Check out this very cool article over at Battery University on charging your device’s lithium-ion battery.

From the article:

“Li-ion should never be discharged too low, and there are several safeguards to prevent this from happening. The equipment cuts off when the battery discharges to about 3.0V/cell, stopping the current flow.”

SwiftKey 3 Tablet Keyboard for Android receives update and goes on sale on Google Play

 

SwiftKey 3 Tablet Keyboard

SwiftKey 3 tablet understands how words work together, giving much more accurate corrections and predictions than other keyboards. Very sloppy typing will magically make sense, even if you miss spaces, and SwiftKey 3 also predicts your next words.

SwiftKey 3 tablet learns the words and phrases you use, and how you interact with your keyboard as you use it, to make typing easier and even more accurate over time. You can also personalize it using your Gmail, Facebook, Twitter or blog posts.

So what has been added in the new version of the app.

  • Smart Space – adding to SwiftKey’s already cutting edge correction, Smart Space detects mistyped or omitted spaces across strings of sloppily typed words in real-time.
  • Two new themes – a new theme, ‘Cobalt’, to match SwiftKey’s new look and feel, and an Ice Cream Sandwich-styled ‘Holo’ theme, as voted for by SwiftKey’s VIP community.
  • An enhanced UI – a much larger space bar and smart punctuation key help improve accuracy and make it quick and easy to access common punctuation. Just tap and slide left on the period for exclamation point, or tap and slide right for question mark. No need to long-press.
  • Additional languages – SwiftKey 3 now offers support for an additional seven languages, bringing the total up to 42. The new languages are Korean, Estonian, Farsi, Icelandic, Latvian, Lithuanian and Serbian. And of course, you can still enable up to three at once.

With almost 54 000 user votes cast, this app scores and incredible 4.6 out of 5 on Google Play. The app usually sells for $ 3-99, but for one week only, the app will sell for half-price, and is now available for $ 1-99. The app runs on Android 2.1 or higher and requires a 6.4 MB download.
