Android powered T-mobile G1 lacks a virtual keyboard on the screen where one do not have to slide open the G1 to enter some data. The Android roadmap currently sees a release date of Q1 2009 for a virtual keyboard. From the Android development site itself reads -

Q1 2009

Input method framework (IMF)

This feature will enable support for input methods other than physical keyboards, for example soft keyboards. IMF will also enable application developers to provide IME (see below) applications based on the framework.

Input method engines (IME)

IME will support soft keyboards, a dictionary of suggestions, and a suggestion algorithm. The Android platform may contain few reference IMEs, and developers can provide IME applications through the Android Market.

Google gPhone - Real Or Another Hoax?

Google GPhone

India Street breaks the most recent news that Google’s GPhone will be manufactured exclusively by E28 of China who makes Linux handsets. Not looking very convincing, above is a picture of E28’s latest smartphone and is assumed to be GPhone itself well-equipped with a QWERY keyboard. It has also been rumored that the manufacturer and its partner NewStep are moving from GSM to VOIP via WiFi. The above handset could or could not be the Google Gphone especially when there’s nothing to be heard from Google.
