    Default Better Keyboard for Android Review




    From the developers:

    Better Keybaord is an enhanced version of the English keybaord you found in Android 1.5.

    Key features:

    - Change the look of the keyboard by applying skins

    - Bigger keys and enhanced sensitivity & accuracy

    - Long press key to access alternate key (shifted keys)

    - Gesture controls, swipe up/download to close, swipe left/right to shift

    Review:

    With the new Android 1.5 update, us G1 users have gained a great new feature, the virtual keyboard! Well not even a day after the update is out, developers Better Android have released their latest application called Better Keyboard. First off you do not need any home app for this application to work. It replaces the standard virtual keyboard. It basically improves on the standard keyboard by giving you larger buttons, skins, swipe gestures and long press control. Better Keyboard costs $1.99 in the Android market and is worth every penny if you use the virtual keyboard or you like to customize every aspect of your phone. Better Android's keyboard gives you all of the same features of the standard android keyboard like text correction, auto capitalization, space twice for period, and auto correction. I have been using it pretty heavily for the last two days and have had no issues with it at all. I am really looking forward to seeing all of the skin options in the future. Check out the video below to see Better Keyboard in action!

    Pros:

    Larger Buttons
    Skinable
    Gestures

    Cons:

    None

    It would be really helpful if we start generating a list of apps like this that are only compatible and viewable in market if you have cupcake. I started a thread here:

    I love the gesture controls. So convenient to swipe across to get numbers.
