Just a few weeks before, Google has announced the latest version of its mobile operating system (version 2.3) named Gingerbread on the Android’s second birthday. While version 2.2 code-named Froyo was major in terms of improving speed, performance. Gingerbread focuses on improving user interface with new keyboard layout, support for internet calls, better gaming and media experience.

The most talked about feature of Android Gingerbread is new Gingerbread keyboard layout that is totally redesigned and optimized for faster text input and editing. The input keys are reshaped and repositioned for improved targeting so that keys will be press accurately even at high speeds.

The best part which I liked was new improved feature of selecting the text which I was waiting from since the launch of first Android operating system. The new feature of selecting text is smart in Gingerbread keyboard that allows you to enter a free-selection mode when you long press a word. You can adjust the selection are as needed by dragging a set of bounding arrows to new positions, then copy that selected area by pressing anywhere in that zone.

The new keyboard also displays the current character and dictionary in a larger mode that is much easier to read and select now.

New multitouch key-chording lets the user quickly enter numbers and symbols by pressing Shift+<letter> and ?123+<symbol>, without needing to manually switch input modes. From certain keys, users can also access a popup menu of accented characters, numbers, and symbols by holding the key and sliding to select a character (via : Android platform highlights).

So, if you come so far, you come to know about that Android Gingerbread keyboard is one of the best Android keyboard till know.
