Watch the whole video. It will blow your mind.
WANT!!!!!!!!!
wow that is crazy... not sure what I think of it so far, the keyboard thing is interesting and I'd love to play with it.
got to say the keyboard that I really like is skiftkey it monitors how you type and predicts your next word. I keep switching between swype that swiftkey.
Ahh, no thanks. It's always good to have options and competition, but I could never use that keyboard.
So far ShapeWriter seems fastest for me. I wish it had better prediction though.

Wow, how did they do that, lmao.
not bad. I still like swype better =)
The phrase invisible keyboard sounds really cool until you take a second and realize how silly it actually is. Additionally what if I meant to write tao and it thinks I must surely have meant tap or rap or yap, or maybe I meant tso as in the general's chicken or tsp like the measure. As far as I can tell this new system is nothing more than unmitigated sillyness.
Magicked from my Vibrant by tube traversing XDA elves.
this looks like a good concept but i dont think id like it for real world use for same reasons as posted above. I still love swipe not sure id want to change
This has alot of potential, ill give it a try when its released.

Hmm. Now we don't have to even spell words correctly? I can't see how this a good thing in the long run unless it's for people with conditions affecting their motor skills. It just reinforces laziness.

I could see it being good in the way of texting by muscle memory. I think it would keep the ppl who feel they NEED to text while driving more focused on the road.
Looks like Google liked BlindType too. They liked it so much they bought the company:

Haha I was just about to point this out. Looks like we might be seeing and hearing more about this now. I saw that demo video a while ago and totally forgot about it till today. Seems cool but I do agree it is a bit "gimmicky"
SwiftKey implements this right now, probably in a more efficient manner.

Over at one of the biggest gadget site's engagdet.com people are very positive about this! I come to XDA, then I see this. Why are you so negative??

far too many rumours and photoshopped stuff going around these days. easy to get excited and think that a lot of stuff is coming, only to find out it was a fake or was removed from the final released version.
As long as it's configurable (i.e.: I can get rid of it!), the interface doesn't bother me.

Loved the UI! Exactly what I was expecting! Its the User Experience that matters rather than the User Interface! And MS has done that this time!
Around half and hr to go now! Lets wait and watch!

You could try this really amazing app that will fix it; it's one of the best. It's called proof-reading.
Or try an auto-complete keyboard like Swype, Swiftkey etc.
You don't proof read before sending? Or you could turn off autocomplete and quick fixes.
This is a touch keyboard thing...
Like thong/thing, of/if, love/live, ****/duck, bit/but, me/mr etc etc
You didn't proof read it so you blamed the phone?....too funny!

Whatever it is you're drinking, smoking, and or ingesting, please don't get on XDA afterwords.
And if your relationship depends on "the moment" when you're text messaging, you must be 12, or making this all up.
OP is blaming Android when he should really blame himself for a lack of attention to detail.
Fact: Haight is a proper noun, it is NOT a word in the dictionary.
Fact: Haughty IS a word in the dictionary, it's an adjective.
I think I would have been mad had Android NOT changed it. Learn how auto-correct works.
The point is - autocorrect is great, but everything needs to be checked after writing when it's being utilized.
if you root you can try droid x keyboard. its a multitouch one and its bigger than android stock one.

To me it just seems much more cluttered and slower.
The slower part really doesn't bother me as much as the cluttering.
Plus the "carousal" hangs too low allowing only a few apps to be seen at a time.
I expected better functionality not a "prettier" design.

The design really is awful. Some complaints:
1. Why isn't the full description shown? It's one of the most important things! And you only get maybe 12 words by default. Useless and annoying to be forced to hit "more" every single time.
2. The labels are just as annoying. Single words without a description would have been fine, we end up seeing more text about what a generic UI labels means instead of what the actual app you are looking at does.
3. Bring back the old tabs. Way too much information at one time. As you said it's cluttered.
4. Again like you said, the top carousel occupies up to 1/2 of the screen. Why?
That said, the new Market looks A LOT better in landscape. Still has a lot of the same problems but at least the huge space that the carousel takes up is a little more forgiving in that orientation.

So, others think the new market is flawed but their opinions are "stupid and crappy" and if they don't like the new market, they should "code one themselves" and "stop whining"?
However, you like the new market just fine and, of course, your opinion is not "stupid and crappy" at all.
Got it.
There are both good and bad on the new market. It seems like they rushed it out instead of trying it for a while to see if they even like it. I agree that not being able to see the whole description without hitting the more button is bad. The more button should be used to view the other less useful stuff at the bottom of the page like the developers email and similar products and not the product description that you are trying to view. I do like the new look, but do agree the carousel hangs too low and does not allow for more apps to be viewed on the screen. I do like the looks of the new market, but they could have done some things differently to make it a better user experience. I know that this is what it is and I will deal with it, but I do have the right to complain about the things I don't like. I will deal with because I have to, but I feel that a lot of folks are going to complain and that another update fixing some of these issues is imminent.

There are a lot of devs that are royally pissed off about this update, people outside the US were having almost all of their orders declined and in turn losing money.
how do u install the new market
I already dumped it myself. To much going on. Half the screen is gone by the carousel. It will prolly grow on us once we are all forced to have it.

Change is good? There's good change and then there's bad change. I usually love any change - I don't love this.
Dear Google,
As much as I like change, this new market design is simply atrocious. Nobody is going to use the scrolling view on top, and it takes 2/3 of the screen. You tried to fit a square in a circle, and did so poorly. It reminds me of a xbox marketplace; just a bunch of graphic throw up. Now, I like having everything on one page, but why minimize the description? The most important part of buying and or upgrading is the description.
On top of that, the placement and order of the pages feel like a maze to me. There is no indication how far back you can go in the application without being sent to your home screen.
While I am sure this app will serve its purpose, I really do expect more from Google come next market update.
From,
A concerned Android enthusiast
How do i get it? i still have the old one...
If you really want to try out the new market it's right here:

Hardware Keyboard for game gripper for Emulators!!!
Fantastic Keyboard
ummm... being better than any other phone out there??? Pretty much everything, except software support, which looks to be a non-issue soon with the Dev going on here.
the only thing I would change ironically is the reason I bought it, I would dump the hard keyboard

My feelings exactly.
I love the fact that I have such a wonderful place where I can look through 9 threads all with the same question that I can search through.
It makes my searching a LOT shorter knowing that I can come to a lightly moderated forum and not have to worry about my question not being asked at least 324 times before I have to do it.
That, and the WKBW's (Bruce Almighty Reference)
Let's just say that the legalization of mary jane would definitely benefit these forums drastically. The output of roms would increase 20 fold, and development for this phone would go through the roof.
TouchWiz!

Just curious to see, like me, how many people have trouble with their physical keyboard skipping keys. I have not been able to find a solution to completely remedy this issue.

It does help, but it still happens.
same as above: not a real problem if i slow down just a tad. i want to say that the issue is worse on the DK28 roms than on DI18, but that might not be true at all. maybe for me tho...
p.s. i didn't vote in the poll because neither choice is accurate for me.... for me it would be somewhere in the middle of those two choices.
I havent noticed it...does it depend on the soft keyboard used? I use the Droid X Multitouch and dont notice sht.
Hey, you know what would be really weird? Is if it depended on whether or not the soft keyboard supported multitouch.
I'm gonna lean towards a software issue. I've uninstalled swype and its seemed to work.

Looks like people get varying results even when removing Swype. My question is, why do we need to remove one feature to make another work like it's suppose to? Has it gotten so bad that we must compromise one feature for another on such an "Epic" device?
I'm sure most will just say deal with it. But man I hate paying so much for a device and it doesn't even work right. The main selling point for me was the keyboard. I'm old school and just can't get used to the frustration of swype or SIP keyboards. But it is nice to have swype available when you type 3 or 4 words at a time. Often times I can't have my cake and eat it too but this is a phone for geezus pete. Can't I have the best of both worlds!?
