Internet petition protests iPhone auto-correction |
An internet petition has been building to protest Apple's auto-correction feature on the iPhone, entitled Please Let Us Disable Auto Correction Steve. Many users would at least like the option to switch the feature off. The truncated words, commonly used while writing on mobile devices, are particularly problematic. Frühjahr Design has received nearly 3,000 "signatures" on its petition in the few days since its launch.The body of the note, addressed to CEO Steve Jobs, suggests that the company should "let your developers make a simple switch button to turn autocorrection off..." Signatures will be accepted until September 30 and then sent to Apple. |
