I recently installed on my Galaxy S3 a new keyboard called Swift Keys. I’m amazed at how good it is. Ok, I can still type on a keyboard faster, but still it’s a marked improvement from other keyboards out there.

I have felt lately that whomever can find a way to make text input on a tablet/smartphone would go a long way to bridging the gap between the traditional PC and current hand held devices.

One other thing that it made me note is the marked difference between the locked down iOS ecosystem and the more open Android ecosystem. You can’t do anything like this on an iPhone, and Apple would be loathe to do something like this for fear of alienating the common denominator.
