I am really liking this keyboard:

Been using it from day one. It is perfect for tablet typing

My only gripe is that it takes over the whole screen sometimes... not always but most of the time it does and that bugs me.

I've changed it to the 10" tablet setting as well.

I've been holding out for SwiftKey's thumb keyboard. They demo'd it at the same time as the Xoom but I can't even find a beta. Thumb keyboard is absolutly necessary.

There is a option to actually not make it take over the entire screen.

Under options "Suppress Fullscreen Mode"

After changing that setting this has become easily my favorite app on the Xoom so far.

Just got thumb keyboard. Seems like it will take a little getting used to, but so far I like it. Some of the punctuation is difficult to find, but I'm sure that comes with time.

Also, I think there only needs to be a single g on the keyboard, I find myself wanting to hit h but hitting g instead.

I'm gonna play around with the settings a lil bit, see what I come up with.

Thanks for the suggestion on this keyboard

I totally enjoyed using this keyboard. I wish they could let us to rearrange some of the layout. But I found I use the thumb keyboard when I'm holding it with two hands. Otherwise when the tablet is flat on the tablet I prefer the default google keyboard.

Bought it today and I really like it. The numbers are a little hard to reach.

Just got this app a little while ago and it's very intuitive for an OG Droid user.

Things I like:

Hold a key for alt character instead of pressing the '123@' key and switching back.

Numbers are easily accessible.

.com key!

Smileys. :D

Directional keys.

Things I don't like:

The location of the backspace key. I'm so used to it being in the upper right that when I want to erase stuff I type pppp instead. It's also too close to the enter key.

It's a bit sensative.

some of the punctuation is oddly placed,

Otherwise, excellent app and worth the $.

XOOM'd from the XDA app.
