[APP] Newest TouchPal Keyboard

---

Here is the newest TouchPal keyboard from China!

Download it from CooTek



Far has I know it is still in beta over there in China.... but I can not read chinese....

Here are some pictures!

I really like this keyboard it has always been one of my favorites ever sense the first beta last year. now they have made lots of changes and it is even better.

When you install it it will be in chinese. you will need to go to settings and switch it to english.

Looks nice. Downloading now.

EDIT: Just tried it out for a while. Verdict: It's great!
Once you turn off the Chinese language, the text prediction is great, and the buttons are quick and responsive. I like the option to have different layouts for portrait vs. landscape (even though I just use QWERTY for both). The edit button is top center, and very handy, since I came from a G1 and the Vibrant has no trackball/d-pad to edit words. One note though, the delete button in Edit deletes the next character, not the previous. Not a huge deal, since the backspace on the keyboard still deletes the previous character and you could just select what you need to delete in the Edit screen, just a weird change. If you don't know what I mean, try it out yourself, it's worth a try at least

I love that style of keyboard with the two letters per key (Like on my original Blackberry Pearl).

Yeah it is a great little keyboard. my favorite feature is being able to swipe to change from T9 to QWERTY :)

I am new to the Android side of XDA just picked up my Vibrant 2 days ago and loving it.............

My favorite too......one of the first things I downloaded to my Vibrant and seems to work pretty well just missing the ability to save passwords or url or email adresses (one click entry in the username or password box for websites is really slick and I miss that the most). It is still beta so we will see if they implement it later on.

Link not working... looks fun though

Go to Market and search for Touchpal... is in Chinese but you can change setting easily

Um, why does the app need access to Contacts and Voice Recorder?

I ask, because we (in the I.T. dept) are being bombarded by Chinese malware and such.

The permissions do seem a bit excessive for a keyboard.

Requires these permissions:

Your personal information
read contact data

Network communication
full Internet access, view network state, view Wi-Fi state

Hardware controls
control vibrator, record a
