closest thing to iPhone but slightly short

Obviously this keyboard will respond slightly differently on different android devices... one slight thing on the lg g2x is that the backspace is pretty close to the right side of the screen.. this can be fixed adding a case to the phone...
But this isn't that big of a deal...
A major thing is the suggestions... although this keyboard gives you multiple suggestions on one line, it puts a bigger space in between the keyboard and what you are writing. Your eyes have to travel a longer distance to check what you actually wrote.
This makes typing take longer over time for the just part. You can argue that multiple choices save time too, but a well trained keyboard makes this feature less effective.
Also, this makes the texting process more fatiguing on the eyes.
If you think this is purely subjective, think about all the iPhone users jumping ship.. The switch over to get used to Android typing is a long cumbersome process that could be made easier.
Anyhow, whichever you look at it, I give a plus one for small popup correction suggestions like the iPhone's...
Oh, and I oreffer all caps letters that are bold too. The little numbers and stuff are nice but it outs wear and tear in visibility too.
With that said, this is still my favorite keyboard on android because I canadjust it to almost duplicate iPhone functionality.
