Is there a general consensus on what the best free keyboard is on the market atm?

I remember watching that video a few pages back of one in development but can't find it now :(

swype isn't available to buy (only OEMs) and shapewriter got bought out then removed from the market.
 
Good Morning Everyone.

Im running launcher Pro on my desire and have been looking for an email program that will show up new emails on the dock bar. The Gmail does this but not the default email. Can anyone recommend an app that will do this ?

Also can anyone recommend a good music app happy to pay for both if needed.

Cheers

Hmm weird,

How are you guys loading it or on what ROM? I'm on OD 3.4.2 but now on DeFrost 3.0a.
 
DeFrost is full of win, it is my ROM of choice now and it gets superb performance and benchmarks in v3 :)

for music, meridian is decent, or doubletwist if you want to sync playlists with itunes
 
Yeah I can't decide on which browser is the fastest and best for general things :confused:

Although I have ruled out xscope and opera mini browser as they don't render some web pages properly.

Dolphin is good but seems pretty slow and wasn't too happy with skyfire as it seemed rather slow as well, tbh I think the stock android browser is the fastest really but the features are pretty poor. Are there any other browsers that are good/better than the stock browser?

Really want a web browser with tabs as well :(

And I can't decide on which keyboard now either, went back to the stock android keyboard as I had a few problems with the HTC IME keyboard, it was rather slow to start up (I have no task killer) and if you type to fast, it will lag behind a fair bit and it also takes up a fair bit of memory and also when you turn your mobile side ways and if you have the text box thing on, it doesn't seem to display the text in the box but when you go out of the text box it will show the text that you typed but it wasn't bringing that text up in the wee box if that makes any sense :p. Only way to solve that is to turn that text box option for landscape mode off but then you can't see the tiny text box for handcent beside the send button because the qwerty keyboard is covering that text box then, so rather pointless :(
