it seems cool, but im hooked on swiftkey. It does me right and is really good at prediction.

I just installed this on my Droid 1 with CM 7. I think I'll stick with the Gingerbread keyboard for now. Visually, it doesn't look much different. Typing "i" followed by a space does not auto-capitalize. Also, on the GB keyboard, if I type "il" (that's just one I and one L) and hit space, it'll auto-correct to " I'll " which is nice, because obviously " ill " is a legitimate word but not the one I usually want. Rather than constantly tapping on the correct choice, I can take a shortcut by typing one letter less and hitting space and getting the word I want. This ICS apk doesn't do that. And of course, the speech-to-text function is not working.

Still, I can't wait for a real working ICS kb for my Droid. Actually, I can't wait until the SGN comes out, but I'd love a properly working keyboard for now.

Good work XDA.

Eh. It's nice, but I think I like the Gingerbread keyboard better. The buttons are too small on the ICS one.

Egg I still like the Motorola multi touch keyboard. One of the best android keyboards out there.

I like the stock one on my Bionic better...keys are bigger for my guy fingers. The keys were just too small on the ICS one...

This so called new keyboard looks like Gravity one or Windows 7.
Mevertheless, looks much better than previous one.
