\"\"While browsing Twitter<\/a> yesterday, I came accros a Swype<\/a> like keyboard for Android called TouchPal<\/a>.  It is free in the Android Market<\/a> and I installed it and started using it.<\/p>\n

I was immediately impressed with how it works.  It seems much more accurate and responsive than Swype and I just prefer the overall interaction with it. I like the little switch on the space bar to switch Prediction on and off.  English is not my home language so prediction can be a real pain.  The only drawback at the moment is that I could not find a Afrikaans (my home language) language pack for it. <\/p>\n

It even has Voice input and recognition but I have not really tried this so not sure how good this works.<\/p>\n

It is fairly customizable and lots of settings that you can set.  The defaults works just great.<\/p>\n

For the time being this will be my preferred and default keyboard.  Here is a screenshot of me using it in Tweetdeck (my other favourite app at the moment)<\/p>\n

My handset details:<\/p>\n

Handset:<\/strong>  HTC Desire (yes the original from a couple of years back)<\/p>\n

Android:<\/strong>  Version 2.2 (Rooted ROM .. just did not had the need to upgrade)<\/p>\n

Give it a try, you will not be sorry \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
