Wow Swype works great, I need to get used to it though. Too bad the first language isn't English over here. I need to get used to typing words with two letters as well, like "too" is kinda annoying.

Finally got it installed. So eager to start playing with it.
Just off the bat, its a LEEEEEETLE sluggish on the iPhone 5.
Its also crashed a few times. Agreements left and right.

Is Swiftkey supposed to be better than Swype?

Just finished installing and I'm loving the new details feature where you can see all the sent videos and images without having to go so far back in the messages.
Never used either but from what I've read Swype is better at swiping and Swiftkey is better at prediction.
Since Swiftkey is free I'll try that first then maybe think about Swype if I'm not happy.
Don't see the point of Minuum.

Swiftkey is a better typing keyboard and better at predicting your next word. With Swiftkey the keys are laid out to be more spacious and comfortable, and you will very often be able to tap the suggestions to complete 3 or 4 words in a row. For swiping, you have to be very deliberate to get the word you're thinking of, and even then, you often will get the wrong result, even on simple words like "and" (abs).
Swype is much better at swiping. You can swipe quickly and mess up your ordering and it'll still get it right more often than not. It's also a decent keyboard, but the space key is a little too small. I believe Swype uses the row of words to show alternates to the word you swiped for, where Swiftkey uses it to show the next word you want, so it's easier to correct a wrong swiped result on Swype as well. On the flip side, Swype's next word prediction has made no impression on me.
I like both but prefer Swype.

TouchPal is free. Does that mean it's not good?

I'm really interested in trying out the Ginger Keyboard when it comes out. The grammar demo on its site is pretty neat.

It would be greatly appreciated if this were answered.
Also how is scrolling with Safari? I fucking hated how slow it was in iOS7.
I don't understand why they're surprised.
Yes, it's absolutely ridiculous, but then again my mom's 8GB iPhone 4 needed 4.5GB free to update from iOS 7 to whatever version (7.1 I think) that fixed the goto fail bug.
She ended up changing the whole device because there was no way she could free that much space and the security issue was kind of major there.
It's a big issue, but it isn't new in any way.

They got rid of the "backup now" option under iCloud.... I liked seeing when the last backuop happened, and being able to force it
Also, I upgraded to icloud drive... not sure if that does anything for me since I don't use files or anything....
The option is there for me.

No they didn't, it just moved. Go to Settings > iCloud and tap Backup.

Apps that actually have a certain level of power are nice.

Until Yosemite is out, and more apps start supporting widgets and extensions, iOS 8 is just a nifty update. However, I'm absolutely loving the new Spotlight. Its really like Google for me on the phone. Searching everything, and its pretty snappy too!

Unless I'm mistaken I don't think there will be a standalone iCloud Drive app, but any app can access the data so you can just install a finder-like app to manage it.
