Anyone else want to donate for a on screen keyboard?

I will pay $10 im sure you can get allot of people to pay up and make a nice mint on a keyboard that should not be to difficult

I'll Throw $10 for a virtual keyboard. But it has to be like the Iphone's VK not the WinMo one!

Im in.. Paypal $10

i would have been in too if this [http://androidcentral.com/android-virtual-touchscreen-keyboard-coming-2009/] wasnt true!

Yeah... I think I would rather wait. Also a shapewriter keyboard would be cool.

You dont have to donate $10, isn't a few dollars worth not waiting for the keyboard in jan/feb?

I want a SureType virtual keyboard, I really liked the HTC Diamond keyboard with the 20 key input.

I looked into making a virtual keyboard but it's pretty difficult due to the constraints of the SDK. You have no way of capturing key events from other applications and there is no way to hook into key events. You can easily make an application that displays a virtual keyboard but it will only be used for your application only. It will not be able to integrate with the browser, messaging, or dialer apps.

I think I'll wait

Thumb Keyboard 4.0 Beta (Amazing TF Keyboard)

If you haven't tried Thumb Keyboard yet, give the free 4.0 Beta a try. It has changed my TF experience for the better in a huge way. Link here.
The Beta lasts for another week, and I'll buy the full release without hesitation.

It comes with custom skins but you can also find and install customs.

I've been trying the betas for quite a while and agree its the best one around. As long as you turn off predictive text, it doesnt lag at all. It's only getting better with updates. Will purchase it too if it ever comes out.

I purchased v3 not so long ago (but before the beta came out).. am I gonna get stiffed and have to buy v4 all over again when that eventually launches? I know its only a few quid but it'll be a pain if I do..

Love thumb keyboard

is there a thumb typing lesson that i can do online. this is great and convenient but unless you're trained to do it, it can slow you down even more.

Thanks! This really made typing a lot easier while holding the device.

The cursor keys work on ssh terminal programs like connectbot, but the tab key does not.

it's a beta, let them know and hopefully it's something that can be fixed before the final release.

How come I don't see it listed in the keyboard list after I installed the apk?

I had to reboot to get it to show up on mine.

I cannot figure out how to change the buttons....I picked large buttons and now I want to change it to small ones and see the difference...it said that you can change but did not say where to do that. I looked in settings and could not see where to change it.

Thank you.

original thread by developer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056976

Thanks for pointing this out. Absolutely brilliant - have to say one of the best features is the option to instantly switch between split layout, full screen and half screen keyboard. Plus, none of the lag or missed keypresses, even with prediction on...

SwiftKey 2 Beta access now open (another amazing KB)

Good today only! (5/20/11) The world ends tomorrow anyways
The SwiftKey keyboard beta has been opened up so you can download the new honeycomb compatible keyboard. This is a serious contender to ThumbKeyboard, and it's specialty is predictive text. It's setup very well on the Transformer. Another must have, or at least must try keyboard.
In order to sign up, just register at their website and use the invite code #swiftkeyFRIDAY.
Register here.
Once registered you get forum access. Go to the tablet downloads section and get the new Beta.

Interesting, will take some getting use too.

I've been waiting for this and it's finally here... beta version

Thanks for the info.

Had access to this for a while now but I find the layout of thumb keyboard to be far better and easier to type with, didn't use swiftkey much.

Thanks man

Bah... now they're giving us a choice! I'd already made my mind up that I was going to buy thumbkeyboard. Now you're making me re-think.

Although SwiftKey is pretty cool looking, and better then the regular keyboard. I definitely think that ThumbKeyboard is definetly better.
Also has anyone noticed how even with the keyboard dock the SwiftKey prediction three word thing still pops up. I'm not sure if I like to or not yet. But kinda cool. I wonder if they did that on. purpose or not.

Edit: Also for some reason the prediction with the keyboard work really good in the XDA app. Actually fixes any mistakes I make typing. But in every other app i've tried messes up, either by double entering words, or by just adding random letters. Especially if I start typing real fast. Guess that is a problem.

I agree with the above...I make way more mistakes on the swiftkey app and I hate the tron look. I want a matte keyboard layout so back to thumb keyboard I go!
I know it's a beta...it will get better, but for now I'll stick to what works and what I can customize further.

i have the same auto-correct issue of it adding random characters, actually the letter "I" specifically.

[Q]iOs5-ish Keyboard?

Good day guys,
Im looking for a keyboard resembling the thumb special one from the iPad iOS5.
I really like the concept and i have tried the app "tablet keyboard" yet it just not it.
Im looking for a thumb keyboard that is split on both sides of the device, yet has nothing in the middle thus preserving precious pixels.
Image of what i mean:

Try Thumb Keyboard. Best purchase I've made for my Transformer. Lots of customization and it's only 99 cents on Amazon's AppStore right now!

Did you not read his post or did you just choose to ignore the part where he says WITH NOTHING INBETWEEN.

I love the community! Everyone is so friendly and helpful!

I believe thumb keyboard dev will think about this layout with nothing in the middle.

Im not completely sure, but I dont think that the Android IME framework supports layouts like that (With the application underneath). I think the IME gets a certain area of the screen, and will just have blank spaces in open areas.

Hopefully Apple doesn't have a patent on that... they seem to patent the most basic things. Meh. Would be a great layout though.

Typical. Everytime I see a "new Apple feature" that Android already has, I can't suppress a smile. Then I see Apple's version and dammit, they manage to put a new slant on it that wipes the smile away!

Asus makes a actual keyboard for the transformer it extends the battery life too and there is nothing in the middle of the screen.

The new swype beta has a sliding keyboard that takes up about a fifth of precious screen realestate. I have a post with pics in here somewhere. Not what you specifically asked for, but it is free when you sign up for the beta.

Finally a new landscape mode keyboard phone...kind of

It's not a real tactile keyboard but at least it's a new landscape keyboard-ish phone with new hardware. I'm disappointed it is a screen but if it's customizable then that would make a bit more sense instead of it just being a silly gimmick. I don't need a camera button on my keyboard, I'm not sure what's beside the 1 key or the left/right arrows, I don't need a symbol button where backspace should be and it looks like a whole row worth of space is wasted where there is just the speaker symbol.
It might be better than the landscape mode blackberry options though but there's no way I'll be able to type on it without looking as well as having a tactile and real physical keyboard. At first I thought it was a real keyboard and got so excited. I have come down off that high now.

Damn...it was a hoax. Just some sort of concept art someone was using to get their name out there for graphic design.

Not sure if this was posted previously, please share. Coming from the same folks that developed a keyboard mod for the Moto z phones
Sincerely hope the device is successful
I have a love for QWERTYs (look at my past phones). Spread the word please!

instead of adding that in a 2nd post, you should edit your OP to remove the unsourced clickbait fake pic and rumors... then replace it all with the actual *factual* new landscape slider, which *is real*, has *legit sources*, and details could be found since mid to late 2018, now directly at https://www.fxtec.com/pro1 or just delete this "fake news" thread entirely.
