In Morotola's iTap on my RazrV3 "Hooray" when tapped out on the phone dial pad (4 6 6 7 2 9 )is displayed as "Goosby." After a year of fiddling and getting nowhere I now use "Goosby" for "Hooray" exclusively. 166.68.134.175 22:31, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just removed a comment that said iTap is generally considered harder to learn than T9. Possible, but requireing a citation. I also removed some incorrect information. Using iTap, you can make it behave like T9 by entering all the letters of a word in. So, though by entering FEWER letters you can get more choices sometimes in iTap, by entering the SAME number of letters, you get the same choices as T9. It's an optimization you can perform. (Note that I have two phones and use both predictive text technologies). 24.16.19.181 17:02, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

=== blobber1 4/3/07: I noticed that there were some comments and comparisons with T9 and that they were not all correct. To address this, I created a "Comparison" section since the information did not directly describe iTap. I also changed some of the comments about T9 to reflect its actual behavior and feature set.

Awkward prose[edit]

The use of 'one' as a subject in this article is awkward and archaic, imho. I suggest replacing most instances with "the user" 75.0.230.4 (talk) 03:42, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

iTap/T9 similarites[edit]

I don't know if anyone here has used the Samsung SGH-t729 Blast cellphone, however it offers a suretype keypad with "XT9". While this isn't true T9 on a standard keypad, Samsung cites it as T9. The interface is very similar to that of iTap. It offers completion of words as you type them, plus a list of possibilities at the bottom of the screen from which you can choose a word. Just saying, this might be made of note on the article page.
