Palm Pre gets virtual keyboard

Palm Pre gets virtual keyboardLets take a moment to honor coders, those genius nerds that do the impossible every day. Their latest trick? They’ve stumbled upon a pre-alpha on-screen keyboard for the Palm Pre that was cleverly hidden away in the depths of webOS.

Portrait or landscape version doesn’t matter, the native keyboard will be available, compatible with virtually any app and every field. Most are likely used to the QWERTY keyboard available on the Palm Pre, but if you like virtual better, then this is pretty awesome.

The virtual keyboard is still in very early development, but a downloadable patch is available.

    Uh no. The keyboard was _not_ cleverly hidden in the pre.

    The pre comes with a SYMBOL keyboard that the webos internals coders have USED as the basis for an ENTIRELY NEW on screen keyboard built on that base.

    New code. New funcitonality built on Palm’s BASE.
