[Request][Q]Keyboard to rival iOS? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I've been loyal to android for about a year now, but I only have one complaint: The keyboard
Typing on iOS is easy and great, even on a small screen. Why don't we have a keyboard with that fluid usability? I've tried Swype (prefer typing), Swiftkey X, the TW4 Keyboard, stock GB keyboard, and Thumb keyboard and they all seem to disappoint a little in the shadow of iOS's keyboard.
So my question is: Is anyone working on or thinking about working on a keyboard with iOS-like functionality? I'd honestly pay $5 to download a keyboard that works like the iPhone's.
If you have any keyboard suggestions, post them below.

While I am unable to post the keyboard - as I don't have it myself - apparently the keyboard on the Galaxy S2 in Korea is the best. No issues with the patents held here in the US by Apple, so the accuracy is the same as it is with iOS.
If anyone can find it, pull it, set up an apk that will work with other Android phones, it would be appreciated!

Sent Zedomax a PM hoping he will pull from his Galaxy S2. It was his video that I first saw the keyboard.

Around the 4 minute mark is the keyboard.

Depends on the responsiveness of your phone actually. I have an iPod touch 4g, and I like it so much better than any android phone I've owned.

...that's what I said, LOL. I love the iOS keyboard.

HAHA! That is why we are trying to get the other keyboard. It is (apparently) very much like the iOS keyboard and should be responsive and very accurate. I saw someone state that their accuracy went from 80% with the Android default to about 95% with the Samsung Philippians keyboard.

Not sure. I have to get the keyboard to see if it can be used on any other phone with stock ROM first. There may be a device check on the keyboard, though I do not know at the moment.

Need a daring person to try this app out. I found it from the Philippine Samsung Galaxy S2 Rom on this site. I cannot install it because I have the Samsung Keyboard already and it won't overwrite my current one - I need to root when it is good to go for the Epic Touch.
Let us know how it works.

parse error or just application did not install?

Thumb Keyboard
I keep going back to Thumb Keyboard, it seems to have the best autocorrect and is the quickest. Also, try A.I. type, although I don't like it, I know many who do.

---

There's an emulator in the market. It's $4.50.

I tried deleting the stock Samsung keyboard on my phone using Titanium (backed it up first!) and then installed this one and it didn't install.
