14 Aug 09 Palm Pre hackers create on screen keyboard

One of the main complaints surrounding the Palm Pre is the fact that there is no on screen software keyboard. Instead, every time you want to type a quick message or search for something on the internet, you have to slide out the QWERTY keyboard.

Well, thanks to the guys over at webOS Internals this may soon be a thing of the past as they have unlocked the Pre’s ability to utilize a software keybord. Now, at this point it remains a proof of concept but once they get the bugs worked out there will most likely be a consumer-ready version available for download.

We’ll just have to see how Palm takes to it if/when it’s made available.
