although this keyboard not as good as iphone's keyboard.
But I found that the error rate I have on this keyboard is much lower than the error rate I have on iphone if iphone doesn't have word correction. It's funny to get this result. |

As usual, msmobiles is being overly melodramatic.
This software is FREE for cryin' out loud. So, instead of thanking the kind developer and offering constructive criticism, you deem it a failure because you can't slide your finger (I don't slide my fingers on the keyboard) and you can't see a bigger version of what you're typing (which is definitely an area for improvement). You msmobiles content creators really know how to help out a community - no wonder you'll never be MVP's.
Yes, we would like to see improvements, but this is a definite step forward, and is pretty damn good CONSIDERING IT'S FREE! |

well, then maybe some developer needs to develop it and sell it because this free one is pretty much very lame compared to the one from iPhone.
anyway this is is just a new skin for a very very old virtual keyboard. What we need is new virtual keyboard that would have different behavior: keys pressed when finger lifted, not when finger touches touch screeen.
msmobiles.com at least is telling how it is so stop whining that it is free, alright? |

msmobiles is calling it a failure when they should be supporting the work and nicely pointing out the room for improvement. Others on the net are actually thanking the developer and indicating that they like it. It's not that I disagree with your comments, I disagree with how you convey the message. You completely miss the point that this keyboard is better/easier than the one that comes with WM to begin with.
HTC WM6 ROM updates don't come out fast enough from HTC, so you naturally go to the extreme and post on your main page that no more updates are coming (at least you put a question mark in the title). Someone comes out with an improved soft keyboard and you go to the extreme again and deem it a failure because it doesn't work exactly like the iPhone's soft keyboard.
With your typical extreme viewpoints, you probably think the iPhone is a complete failure because it does not support Microsoft's push email. |
