Virtual keyboard for G1

Current G1 owners must be having a blast with their “hot” phones. Though, some would like to see more options for sending messages. As per the Android Roadmap, the G1 is expected to get a virtual keyboard sometime in the first quarter of 2009. I’m guessing there’s been some G1 owners that have been asking for something like this, becasue if you think about it to reply a simple yes to a text message you have to go through the trouble of putting down your drink and sliding your keyboard open.  With this, the IMF (Input method framework) feature will give way to new IME (Input Method Engine) applications that developers can create. At last, all the little imperfections of the G1 will be getting resolved little by little.
