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).
@Phromik
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

I just purchased aTAKEphONE T9 dialer and I think it is so much better than the one from SE.
It has a T9 dialer, detailed call logs, etc. Love it.

Can't find it in the market with my SE X10 mini unbrandet.
I have used aContacts which is also very good. But I found a bug which fails to invoke the call log screen occassionally. Otherwise both these apps are good and way ahead of the default dialler+phonebook combined together.
ATakephone was also not found by me in the market (People says it depends on country you stay - infact none of the buyable apps are shown in my country in India).
Partha
Couldn't find it in the Market so downloaded it straight from the site, shsh dot com (not allowed to post URLs as a "newbie" - hack, I joined this site in 2005!)
I used TAKEphONE on my Treo's and loved it, but didn't really have a need for it on my G1. As the dialer of the Mini Pro is crap (am I missing something or are the Contacts really entirely separated from it?), I figured going back to my old friend Shimon and his app would be worth a try.
So far I am very impressed. The only two complaints are that the help pop ups are too long and can't be scrolled, and that the i-bar Favorites images are displayed on top of the Last Call bar. No showstoppers but I've informed the developer of these two.

FootballInformer is an WM app provides football/soccer real time score for most of the soccer/football leagues worldwide. You can also add match to Calendar or to Favorities.
Data are prepared on my own server so its data friendly too
App if FingerFriendly thanks Obelix_A and his SliderList control
Its first version and you can download also from web for this app.
This version is primary for WVGA devices. Probably it will be work on other resolutions too but not so nice, because there are only "skin" for VGA.
Tested on WM5, 6.5 and 6.5.x

Any comments or suggestion are welcome!
UPDATE [12-6-2010]:
1. Now you can manage position and league as you wish.
!NOTE if you want add image or change some exist for league, go to the install folder and paste .png file with your own (flag) image. I am using resolution 40x40 for image
2. Fixed Favorites
3. Autorefresh is prepare
thank you. any chance to have swiss leagues added too ?
by the way, tested on my i900 wqvga and it works. a bit hard to navigate, but it works.
Thanks for this. It looks like a very interesting application. I will try it and post my findings.
First thing i noticed. The bottom bar (Settings, Refresh, Favorites) is cut in half like the first 2 screenshots you posted.
Also, do we have an Auto-Update function? For the live matches? Or it's just manual refresh?
It looks very promising app. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for comments.
Bottom bar is half on picture because is "hide". When you click on it, it will grow up.
Autorefresh is good idea
To Corwin9S: swiss leagues is not problem I will add ;-)
Add the Romanian League and i will marry u , joke aside, love this app

Bah, stupid me. You are right with the bottom bar. It's working fine. It's great that you are considering autorefresh, it ill be perfect.
Also it would be nice to have as many leagues as possible for the users to choose. I for example would like Greek and Cypriot leagues.
Again well done, it looks like a very promising application
Edit: Just noticed some small typos: Actuall Results instead of Actual Results and Favorities instead of Favorites
Thank you very much for this app.
Looks very prommissing
rybar73,
Any plans to include the league tables in your next release ?
Actually my plans are make application for more sports results. I have prepared data for tennis and hockey now. So this app will be more about live results.
But I am big football fan so maybe later
to stathis95194: typos was fixed thanks for note
Software was updated to v. 1.2.
You can download it from author's website. It's indeed a great update.
Thanks a lot rybar73

Keep in mind that a port will never be possible because they are two completely different operating systems.
The one in the second post is HTC IME, which is a GREAT keyboard. I find it a bit ugly. I did mine (last modification was a few days ago). Here I post an screenshot. Is Gingerbread keyboard (concretely Keyboard from 2.3 by Steve Lin in the Market) modified.

pity
wp7 keyboard have all I desire in keyboard:
Emoticon's key
Great prediction
Great precision
I never find all three in the keyboards of android
htc have the emoticon's key and precision,and swype have a great prediction but it isn't free multiling have a good prediction,but not at the level of swype.
Last question: i read very good opinion about the samsung's keyboard,there some apk for test it?
You should try out Thumb keyboard, is also has a WP7 skin and all of your desires (at least that's my opinion) and a LOT of options
You can find it here on XDA
There is also a beta for the next release, with text predicion after you type 1 letter, works really well, but is still a beta (and thus free to try for a limited time!)

It does but I don't like the feature I always disable it on any keyboard..
Had a ton of issues with the last beta and ended up going back to the standard Swiftkey. Got an email earlier, I'll have to give this one a try.

I'm still trying it out .. I'm not really interested in the facebook,gmail,etc.. learning setting..so I been using it as I always have so far I haven't had an issue yet I noticed a bit of improvement with voice to txt ..
Just downloaded it and have noticed it is alot better than the previous beta. Although I have noticed a few bugs, sometimes when I hit the space bar it goes backwards. It also auto creates a word after using punctuation. That
may be because I have set to rapid.

Minor keyboard issue
I LOVE SwiftKey! This beta has been working fairly smoothly since download, but whenever I use my hard keyboard (Evo Shift) the "!" doesn't work. I end up with a "?" whether I use the function key to select it or not. Weird. The other thing I noticed is that when I use the back key in some apps, it doesn't take me to the previous screen, I'm stuck with the prediction bar.
It's still functional enough for me to continue using it without reverting back to the paid version. Did I mention that I LOVE SwiftKey??
Having just spent $20 on 8 different keyboards and trying various 'free' keyboards as well, Im wondering what you all find works well for the Note.
Right now, I find Better Keyboard 8.9.9 on the Amazon Market ($3) the keyboard that is working well for me, primarily because it extends the size of the 2nd and third row keys to fit the phone's width which makes the keys easier to hit. All the settings are stock except I disabled auto correct as it keeps changing my abbreviations to words I dont intend (bldg for example keeps getting changed to either bulldog or another word that is slipping my mind).
Supposedly Swiftkey has very good text prediction which might be interesting but I havent used it enough yet to know. Not yet sure the difference between the tablet version ($3) and the phone version (free) nor do I know which I should use for the Note. My assumption is the $3 version would offer more than the free version but I havent had a chance to look at it.
Of course, one of the other things about the keyboard stuff is that it requires using for a few days to determine if a keyboard is working for you.
Im also looking for a good speech to text app, it needs to be something I can select from the keyboard when it appears - ie. clicking the little microphone in the corner on whatever keyboard appears (not sure if Android lets you use a custom keyboard and change the voice recognition app from Google Voice to something else). It is important to be able to toggle the voice recognition from the keyboard as I am using some custom software on my Android phone for work that requires me to do text entry, the app does not support anything other than a keyboard meaning that I want to bring the keyboard up, tap the mic in the corner, say what I need to and have that automatically put into the field. Google Voice is ok but Im wondering if there isnt something better.
My favorite by far is the tablet Swype beta. Some people find the keys to be too small, but I find that it works great for me, and my fingers are fat. Also, using the spen makes it the fastest and most accurate text entry method I have used by far. It also includes speech to text through dragon dictate, which can be activated by the key on the keyboard and is very accurate, more accurate than the stock android voice recognition in my opinion. Here is a picture of the keyboard:
