Spell Checking for the iPhone Debuts
The iPhone corrects your typing as you go, but, until now, there hasn't been a method for performing an aggregate spell check on emails before they are sent.
Mike Schneider has released a new update to TouchType, an application that allows Mail.app to use the keyboard in landscape (vs. portrait) mode.
Schneider writes:
"I am really proud of the spell check feature. The results are very accurate and it works in 86 languages. I was planning to make spell check its own application, but when TouchType was unexpectedly approved by Apple two weeks ago, I decided to merge the two programs. The updated TouchType is still $0.99 and is a free update for existing users.
Other improvements include: support for all international characters and symbols, save functionality, enabling users to reuse text in email messages and create multiple email signatures, and general increased stability and bug fixes.

Some have features that TouchType lacks .. for example, Wide Email has a full-featured ability to save an unlimited number of drafts to use as templates or to finish later. Compare this to TouchType's awkward "load" feature.
And what's the real value in spell checking? The iPhone's built-in keyboard already does auto-correction of spelling as you type.
Here's a list of the other landscape email apps:
Wide Email ($0.99):

Sideways ($1.99):

Compose ($0.99):

Full disclosure: I'm the developer of Wide Email, and I'll admit that I've been annoyed to watch iPhone Atlas's repeated coverage of TouchType that makes it sound like it's the only landscape email app available for the iPhone .. their last blog entry about TouchType got copied and echoed all over the blogosphere. As a result, TouchType's sales went through the roof, even though it lacks some features that Wide Email and the others provide.
It seems like the editors of iPhone Atlas would want their readers to know that they have choices when buying an app to do landscape email on the iPhone.

I won't circulate your e-mail address, nor post your phone number in any washroom stalls. Honest!
Um, you're technically spamming with all those annoying comments of yours.
