Is there any further information on what technology they'll be using for their keyboard? I'm hoping someone will use the Swype stuff.
- pierrefar 18y agoI thought it was the Cupcake's update soft keyboard. There were a couple of leaked videos about this I think...
- peregrine 18y agoYep, the cupcake update should be coming for the G1 soon. The nice thing about android is that I can look at the change sets and see whats coming for my phone. :)
- cdibona 18y agoIt was, but there is no reason you can't swap out the keyboard, the os supports it. Some carriers will want alternative IMEs, after all.
- Zaak 18y agoYes, from http://source.android.com/roadmap http://source.android.com/roadmap : Q1 2009 Input method framework (IMF) This feature will enable support for input methods other than physical keyboards, for example soft keyboards. IMF will also enable application developers to provide IME (see below) applications based on the framework. Input method engines (IME) IME will support soft keyboards, a dictionary of suggestions, and a suggestion algorithm. The Android platform may contain a few reference IMEs, and developers can provide IME applications through the Android Market. Personally, I'm looking forward to something like Palm's old Graffiti for quickly entering a bit of text without having to pop open the keyboard.
