Yep. iPhone does it by default, and doesn't annoy you by making it in-your-face.

It doesn’t do it in as advanced (well—advanced from one point of view, at least) a way, though. You can’t type two letters and then choose the right eight-letter word from a list.

Personally, I prefer it the way the iPhone does it. It might be slightly faster the HTC way, but it’s also a lot more cumbersome having to constantly move your hand up and down to hit the right little block.

Stock Android devices don't have quite such a huge window for that the prediction pops up in, but I also prefer the iPhone way.

I'd like to try the in-your-face way. As it is now, my iPhone only pops up words occasionally.
