Cupcake's on-screen keyboard shown on T-Mobile G1

by Darren Murph posted Dec 22nd 2008 at 1:16AM

We already found that the Cupcake branch of Android made available a software keyboard on Nokia's line of Internet Tablets, and now that very functionality is being showcased on a bona fide T-Mobile G1. We can't say how stoked we are to see a real deal on-screen keyboard on the handset, and we're even more jazzed about the eventual release of these caloric goodies to the masses. Have a look yourself at the vid just after the break.

So does anyone know when the cupcakes are being released en masse?

If that thing doesn't support the keyboard in landscape mode, I'm gonna go crazy because I detest the iphone style keyboard since my hands are a bit big.

@murs
landscape mode would be nice, but thats why there's the full, physical qwerty keyboard. something the iPhone doesnt have. xD
