![]() The installer itself will throw an error stating that you must be using Windows 7.īefore you hit OK, using windows explorer browse to your C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Temp\ folder and find the Atheros Installer.msi. Here are the steps I took to get the wifi driver installed:Įxecute the installer package and it will extract the files into your Temp folder and the Atheros Installer.msi will be located in one of the folders. Before unpacking the install application I tried to install it under Windows 7 compatibility mode which also did not work. ![]() However it does have the required driver packaged up inside. The Dell A06 driver install package as I mentioned above is not compatible with Win8. After a couple hours of learning the new UI and figuring out where everything was I decided to take the time to get Wifi up and running. The wifi on the other hand took some more tinkering. ![]() N-Trig has drivers on their site at that are compatible with Win8. Secondly the Dell Atheros Wifi drivers were also not compatible. The first being the Windows 7 N-Trig drivers were not compatible with Win8. After reading numerous comments around the net about how slow it was running Win8, I was curious to find out for myself. For a severely under powered device it is actually running Windows 8 very well. Installing Windows 8 on this tablet went off without a hitch. The Flow Beta can be found HERE!

If you do not currently own SwiftKey 3, now is a good time to grab it. Even in its Beta form it is more fun, and more accurate than Swype. Overall I can see myself using this keyboard going forward. Surely the SwiftKey team is working on ironing these issues out and the release version of this keyboard will be fantastic. It is also currently having issues with words that incorporate an apostrophe. SwiftKey also has problems properly predicting words that have two of the same letter together like “too” and “fell” which becomes “feel”. The two methods I liked are either you swipe left from the delete key to remove the last word typed, or be able to swipe up to the prediction bar to the word you want, then continue on with your message. There are ideas being thrown around in the VIP forum on how to fix this. Currently once SwiftKey predicts the incorrect word the only way to change it is to stop typing and delete it. Once you get used to this method of typing you will notice a nice boost in your typing speed.īeing a Beta (the first Public release) there are still some issues to be worked out. ![]() Being used to lifting a finger to either allow Swype to insert a space or manually hitting the space bar, it took some time getting used to swiping down to the space bar and continuing on. Using Flow you simply move your finger across the space bar and move on to the next word. A major difference between Swype and SwiftKey Flow is the option to never lift your finger until your done typing. I didn’t mind letting it scan my text messages, but I was not interested in it reading my emails and facebook posts. There are even options to scan your text messages, emails, and facebook posts to learn your writing style. SwiftKey learns from your writing style and increases it prediction accuracy over time. Their prediction is vastly superior to Swypes built in dictionary and word prediction. I used SwiftKey 3 for a few days to test it out a few months ago. It was a nuisance to go back over every message and proof it for these typographical errors. Swype has always had issues differentiating between “if” and “of” and other similar letter combinations. It was exciting to see SwiftKey launch its own variation on this type of keyboard. I personally have used the Swype keyboard on my android phones since it was in beta.
