Is there an app to make predictive text on ipad more like on an android?

no, and as it stands - there can't be, as Apple doesn't allow 3rd party apps to change way build-in keyboard works.

So unless apple changes their rules (or you jailbreak your ipad) you can't have it...

Well that stinks. Guess that's why I'm not an apple person at heart. I probably would be happier with an android tablet.

Having both the iPad 3 and an Android Tab the ability to customise the Android Tab to ones own satisfaction is one great advantage.

I remember a plist tweak a while back that enabled this functionality in iOS 5.0 and 5.0.1, I have no idea if it still works, since I haven't heard about it in a while. Didn't require a jailbreak, etc.

Don't think it's ready for primetime. But, it was there.

But that's it - Android is for people who like messing around , customize, play around with internals etc. iPad is for people who want device that "just works". And one can't break 🙂 (software-wise that is 😝)

As an IT professional after fighting with machines all day at work, I'm gladly coming back home to iPad that just doesn't require any work ever 🙂

Or it could be said that Android users like to have a wide choice of how they would like their Tab (or Phone) to look, feel and operate i.e. customisable. However iPad (iPhone) owners have to use what they're given! 😉

Maybe Andriod user just like dealing with malware and poorly vetted apps?

Or maybe they're just able to make their own minds up rather than have them made up for them. 😉

Talking of "poorly vetted apps" Apple's own Maps application has really gone down a storm hasn't it. 😁

Anyway we all know that Apple fanbois will hear nothing against their precious gadgets or Apple (although the RIP, IPad 3 may make you think different!) so I'll give you the last words of "wisdom". 😁

I'm declaring a fatwa on the word "fanboy."

You obviously haven't discovered it on your own, but there are six invisible keys on the split keyboard.

You can also come back home to the Tab "without doing any work" if messening around and customising doesn't float your boat; like the iPad the Tab works fine (if not better) straight out of the box. I suppose with the Tab you get the best of both worlds! 😉

FWIW I like to think that as an owner of both gadgets I like to think that I have a balanced viewpoint unlike some who just own the iPad. 😉

No

You can still break Ipads.
