The My Home Keyboard is not like any other virtual keyboard. It is your personally defined home keyboard APPLICATION, with the languages and keys of your choice. Supports 3 customizable pages of characters.
Works both in portrait vertical mode and in horizontal landscape mode. The landscape mode is very easy to use with large buttons.
Send your text directly to your favorite applications, send text to the device clipboard and paste text in any other application.
Send the text as an SMS, send to the messaging application, directly send to and call up Google search, find locations in Google maps, search for Flickr images and Twitter tweets. Email the text or search Wikipedia. Send to Youtube search, or look for eBay deals. Supports left-to-right and right-to-left typing directions. Fully customizable page, set any language key-code and customize your language and symbols. Note: The My Home Keyboard does not automatically install additional fonts. If your language is not supported by your palm pre device, you will have to install it manually yourself. You can easily and conveniently define individual keys with special symbols or letters by simply typing in a new key code for that key.
The My Home Keyboard is an application and does not replace the built-keyboard. It opens up as a separate card!

lol @ portrait mode
Not Available In Canada according to my Pre!!!! This SUCKS!!!!!
Why can't we get this stuff in Canada??
This has now developed into a great app. If you want a very usable virtual keyboard app, this is it.
Not a bad app at all. It saves some wear and tear on the phone since I no longer have to slide it open for most things. A little practice and it should be fairly quick.
Now available in Canada. And it ROCKS. Really solid app. Makes you want to not open your Pre. I have it in my launch wave. Really great for those moments when you just want to input text and you don't need the keyboard. It should come built in with the Pre!!!!!! Get it NOW.
Pre does have a virtual keyboard, it is disabled by default. Download the patch to enable virtual keyboard, and you are all set... for FREE.
App just got better with auto release shift!!!!!
I bought it. I like it. Very useable
any of you that have this app. got the plus from verizon? if so how well does it perform?
Puchased this app for my Palm Pre, this great program that should be built into the webOS. I use it mostly in Landscape modes, Portrait mode keyboard key arrangement is different and should devote the extra space above and below the keys to the typing area.
I wish there was a way to try it before buying it.
:( I downloaded this, paid $4.99, it's ok not great, better than no vkeyboard for sure. The keys don't pop when you type them, so it's harder than other vkeyboards that do to make sure you hit the right key. It is awkward to put the text into the app you want to use, and when you use the integrated option, the function is different, and less.
THOUGH I WOULDN'T BUY THIS AGAIN, OR RECOMMEND, AND WISH I COULD GET MY MONEY BACK!!
HERE'S WHY: I then found that the Pre2 HAS a vkeyboard, and all I need do is download a patch via preware to enable it. IT'S FREE. Check it out Canadians, you are apparently carrying around what you need right now. Oh, and the keys on it pop on the free one, I'm not sure it can go to landscape, it locked my phone trying that, but not sure it wasn't too much open and not the vkeyboard. Once enabled, it pulls up from the bottom, and you wouldn't know it was there so try that before you think the download didn't work!
So, for FREE, enabling the Pre2 vkeyboard wins for me, the keyboard is easier to use, and much better integrated into whatever app you are typing into.
