It doesn't exist in the market. It has to come on your device or you need to find one that works on the Iconia. I don't know of one that does work.
You don't need it on iconia. Dragging across such a large screen is impractical.
Try hacker's or thumb keyboard.
thunbs or tablet keyboard
OK I tried this illusive swype keyboard.to be honest I do not get the fuss.thumbs keyboard is much better .there are alot programmable keys at top I put them to numbers. Then there is the built in micro feature.saves so much typing. Tablet keyboard also has nice split design and top roll_number keys I sugest thumbs
Thumbs.is worth the money

Umm, no. That's another keyboard that also uses a swipe motion but it is not Swype.

Like VERY much
There's also Slide-IT. Tried it but it wasn't very easy to use on the tablet. I really like the thumb keyboard (as I still have all my thumbs.) I used the toolbar at the top to add common symbols like and other keys that aren't available on the keyboard itself: / - _ ' Esc | Home End Del.... etc
toolbar on thunbs and thumb tack
I used the top toolbar to add number keys to easky reach. Small hands only thing I wish the center section numbers could be programed.to maybe something similar to the bar on top
I have all my fingers.
They have bright pink nails today too bad my tab is not same color
Bohooooo
how do you program the 'top bar' as yall are describing for the thumbs keyboard?
thanks!
assigning keys
Long press on one of the blank keys.
click edit bindings then choose what you like
save the key
Just a note if you do not see the blank keys next to the right hand space bar is a keypad turn the function key roll on and off
Hope this helps.
Such a awesome keyboard you could not ask for much more

oh sorry it's not swype and ?
it's a Swype Type keyboard.
that id bring this back up for the swype beta for honeycomb, it works very well. Also has an option to use a phone sized keyboard for typing with one thumb. much easier to use.
Here you can get it:
beta.swype.com
(sorry, i`m not allowed to post links )
It works on my Iconia
This works wonderfully!
Although, this is a lot of screen to swype over!

Just installed it. I've had it on my Samsung Omnia II and use it exclusively on my phone. The implementation on the tablet is great. It will become my primary input method on here as well.

Haha, no. Haven't had any problems here.

is there any other keyboard with a longer spacebar and a smaller period button/?
Swype son! that'll fix your problem quick. It took me a few attempts to get it right but that keyboard is amazing and it works great from portrait mode. it automatically enters a space between words when you lift your finger off the screen.
smart keyboard pro has a much longer space bar and it's an excellent keyboard.
Wow. Great app! Thanks! I was getting really annoyed at that period key location.
Im still stuck with muscle memory from the iphone, and i keep missing the spacebar. But im getting better at it.

Use swype, then you don't need to hit the space.

I have the same problem. I was doing the same thing on my incredible before my X as well. I don't like swype though and it seems even worse on a bigger screen.
Any keyboards that remove the useless keys beside the spacebar? I.seriously.end.up.typing.like.this.in.all.my.SMSes.
I keep missing the spacebar and end up typing five words together before i realize what i did.

I had the same problem, pretty badly. Coming from iPhone. I read this thread, and installed Smart Keyboard Pro. What a difference. I went with the HTC skin and I'm *loving* it. Like night and day. Very customizable, too. Love the gestures and the hold for alt-key.
Swype is awesome but...
The landscap keyboard sucks, the buttons are too close together and the space button is on the right? Potrait I love though. I wish I could combine the two!
Smartkeyboard pro is awesome. No more period instead of space
Yeah.I.am.typing.like.this.all the time too and it is very annoying.
I actually like the stock keyboard except for that one issue with the period key... should be a few more pixels to the right to make the spacebar bigger and it would be perfect.
The other BIG issue I have is lack of arrowkeys. WTF? You mis-type something and then have to try clicking kind of close to the mistake, but you know you never get it perfectly, so I end up deleting and retrying. PITA. Give me some arrow keys for editing purposes.

this sentence.
Has anyone else switched to quick controls in honeycomb's browser, by going to settings->Labs? It gives you all the menu items in a semi-circle at your finger too just from swiping along the edge of the screen. I have since day one and am not gng back! I haven't seen anyone comment on this awesome, somewhat hidden, feature, so I thought I would attempt to bring it to everyines attention.
in fact I love it so much I wish it was integrated throughout the rest if the os. I often find myself swiping the side of the screen attempting to use the back button or whatever else. Then sadly I realize I am not in the browser and begrudgingly reach down to the bottom left corner...
If you guys have tried it let me know what you think. If you havn't, give it a whirl and post back
I tried it, but couldn't get it in to it. You have to swipe very close to the edge of the screen, so the popup wouldn't appear several times because I wasn't swiping close enough to the edge. It seems like it would be good, but it needs a little work. Maybe they've fixed it or there are some settings that I didn't look at.

I have never had it not register...perhaps you're doing it wrong.
Simply move your finger from the bezel to the screen on the left or right sides of screen, like you are pulling the menu out. Move your finger to the option you want and release.

I often catch myself swiping when using a 3rd party browser. Long pressing a page brings focus back to the tab as well so its the best of both worlds.
It does however confuse others when they want to check out my Xoom haha.
Yeah I love this option as well.. Took me a little while to figure it out as well.. Make sure your swiping closed to the middle as well because otherwise all the options wont be visible.
Yeah, honestly, my only complaint is that it registers sometimes when I am trying to click a link near the edge of the screen. But doesn't happen very often and a precise touch or quick zoom remidies this.
It is a nice option but I do not like the fact that it hides all of the other controls that are much easier to simply tap with one touch. I realize that it adds more screen real estate but it just doesn't seem easier to use to me. Maybe it is just me.

The only thing I would like added is a "close tab" button. To anyone having issues activating the option wheel, you don't just touch the edge of the touchscreen...you start with your finger off the screen on the bezel and drag it on from the side.
I love it too. At first it seemed a little flakey but the more I use it the more it's become second nature.

When there are multiple tabs open, they appear across the top just like before. To get another tab use the + (plus) sign.
There are different controls in others corners. This seems to make the browser faster. Thanks for the tip...

is anyone else having this problem:
I am currently using smart keyboard pro but this is happening with all the keyboards ive tried.. but SOMETIMES when i hit keys with my right thumb they wont register nothing happens i touch the same letter with my left thumb they work... i know this sounds rediculous but it is a consistant problem i am not sure what would cause this if it is a defect with my device(if so that sux) very confused has any one else experienced this with the atrix or even possibly any other device..
You have connection with one thumb but not the other? Weell since these screens aren't self aware or can't discern between anything that carries charge.... I think your thumbs are the problem.

Have you tried looking into the way you are holding it? Sometimes the base of your thumb, or palm, might make contact with the area around the capacitive buttons which renders your thumb input unresponsive.
"You're holding it wrong" ...... sound familiar?

It's a double-edged sword with the Atrix. It has a really responsive screen but that also translates into really sensitive. I actually changed the case I was using to accommodate this problem because I have big hands. I was using the Incipio Feather case but kept hitting the bottom of the screen with my hand so I switched to an Otterbox which keeps the base of my thumbs from touching.

On a more serious note I actually think this might be the case, although I doubt you could use your thumbs any differently when typing or whatever than any of us could.
When I have my nexus one on a table, I can't hit any capacitive buttons to save my life with my index finger. Because the glass is somewhat thick and the button press registers to the top (near the black line where the screen starts) I have to hold the phone to get it to work.

The issue you're having with the N1 has been ongoing for about a year now. I had the same problem with both N1s that I had and was supposed to be remedied through a "software fix". I think it was finally blamed on hardware/manufacturing, but don't hold my word to it.
Plus, I was being serious. You don't have to hold it upside down or anything. I just used a little more "arc" with my thumbs but I decided to go with a different case to make it easier.
I can't believe people have not brought up SwiftKey X. IT'S a Keypad made especially for Tablets. It's. AMAZING. It has normal mode and thumb, but the most keypad typing mode with the press of a button. Has Blue Neon keypads for typing in dark when wifey is sleeping. Got it for $2 when it first came out, but now it's $5 and totally worth it. AWESOME Keypad Tablet for Xoom's etc. etc. This Dev got it right. Check it out.
Also got it when it first came out. Love the keyboard layout but it's kinda annoying that it doesn't support Asian languages
Purchased this yesterday. Loving it.

Been using it on my Nexus One since it first came out a year ago ... bought the official tablet release on day 1 too (was using the beta)
how does this compare to the Thumb Keyboard? I've been using that since I bought my xoom. I have swiftkey for my phone and usually turn off the autocomplete using spacebar feature. Since I would probably do that on the tablet version too, is there any reason to switch to it?
I use Thumb Keyboard but I always did like SwiftKey's word recognition. Thumb Keyboard is good so I'm not sure that after buying that I want to buy another keyboard...

With 1 button click you go from normal Keypad to Thumb Keypad. It's on the bottom row. You will see the 123 button, SwiftKey button and then a button that looks like dots, that switches you from normal mode to 2 Thumb mode with a click of the button. AWESOME. This is how a Tablet Keypad should be. LOVE this Keypad

Using the Neon Blue buttons at night is a reason all by itself. Can use Xoom while wifey is asleep and TV turned off. No need for external light
Am I the only one finding SwiftKey shift key implementation counter-intuitive? Perhaps it's just that IMHO the standard keyboard nails it.
I checked it out. Then went back to thumbs keyboard. The It was OK but thumbs keyboard has more options
