Free iPhone Keyboard Dictionaries
If you regularly type on your iPhone with a non-supported language such as Danish, Dutch, Finnish or Portuguese, you'll be pleased to learn about iPhoneDict, a repository of free keyboard dictionaries. The solution is a bit of a hack. After downloading, you have to add the dictionary into the English (UK) slot. This may be a problem if you're actually a British iPhone user. Once downloaded, you activate the keyboard and its dictionary from Settings > International > Keybaords. You can learn more and find step-by-step instructions on the iPhoneDict website.

I had been wanting a Dvorak layout, but then I imagine it would make the fatfinger-correcting suggestions much worse, since (for example) all the vowels are right next to each other. I already fatfinger too many Os when I meant Is, and often my fatfingering makes a valid word too and I don't even get a suggestion. So I think it's high time someone took the smartphone one-(or maybe two-)finger input model and did some Dvorak math and came up with a layout that would combine typing speed with optimal letter placement for suggesting words.

I can't wait for June so we can have posts about stuff to install that don't require jailbreaking.
My iPhone has used those Norwegian dictionaries for *quite* some time already. What is the news here?
They should throw Dvorak support into the mix!
