So, I saw that a new keyboard "replacement" was due to come out today from 8pen for Android and had to give it a shot. It is a very different input method and figured it might be interesting to play with. I found it in the market for $1.59 (UK 99p) and quickly downloaded it. It installed with no issue on my Motorola Droid 2, and after enabling/activating it in the input settings was good to go. 

So, I began with the tutorial and had a little bit of trouble at first. Finally, after a couple of tries, began to get the concept of this quirky ass input device. I found myself accidentally lifting my finger before completely a word and leaving spaces everywhere. I also noticed I kept cocking my head to the side trying to figure out where in the hell the next letter was that I was looking for. Finally, the tutorial was complete and I was ready to try and send a text message.
