One product category that has been well represented is replacement Android keyboards. I think I’ve tried practically every keyboard on the market and find myself bouncing back and forth between SwiftkeyX, Swype and Thumb Keyboard 4.

Each keyboard has its strengths, For me, SwifkeyX has the best predictive text engine, Swype the fastest text input and Thumb keyboard 4 the best landscape layout featuring a split keyboard and numeric keypad all on the same screen.

Why do I mention some of TouchPals competitors? Because the TouchPal keyboards latest beta (V4.81) incorporates some of the features from my favorite competing products into one keyboard. CooTek calls this feature TouchPal Curve, which combines swiping input with a predictive text and machine learning engine.

Swiftkey is celebrating its “first birthday” by launching two new apps, Swiftkey X and Swiftkey Tablet X. Swiftkey is making Swiftkey X for phone available as a free upgrade to users who purchased Swiftkey from the Android Market in the past year.

Swiftkey is also making SwiftKey X and SwiftKey Tablet X available for $1.99 to new customers — over half off each app – until Saturday at 6am PDT.

If you are not familiar with Swiftkey X, its one of our favorite virtual keyboard replacements for Android. It has the best predictive text algorithm I’ve seen for any virtual keyboard and I’ve tried most of them. We’ve done at least three different reviews in the past year for the various versions, you can see our latest review here.
