iPhone OS 4.0: iPad-like spell check

Hmm. No "add to dictionary" feature? So a name could be always underlined as misspelled no matter how many times you type it?

Wow, iPhone OS is finally going to have a feature that Android's had since version 1.5 two years ago!

And no, I'm not a troll - I've been using an iPod Touch since the first generation, and I've been waiting a long time for this feature.

Nevertheless, well done Apple, this is a great feature to add to the OS.

Did they finally let us change (without strange incantations) the default note font? please?

Typing that sentence on an iPad still offers the replacement popup and automatically replaces spelll with spell. However, if you go back and add the extra 'l' it then underlines the word with the red line and provides the click to replace functionality that is pictured here.

So, no they haven't ditched the bubbles and auto replacement. And, they better not. The auto-corrections are what make typing on iPhoneOS superior.

I know it's all going to come out anyway, but does TUAW have no compunctions about being complicit in someone else's breaking of the NDA?

I'm not asking from some perceived position of moral superiority or anything. I'd eagerly lap it up and encourage it passively simply by consuming the info, bumping your site visits and therby encouraging you to publish more of these (presumably) unsolicited tips even if I didn't have a developer account.

I'm just curious how the decision was made to (or not to) publish these types of reveals.
