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.
