Hola,
I've been looking into on-screen keyboards (OSK) for alternative text
entry in mobile devices and Jess suggested a while ago that this could
be done through the browser. At that time I raised an eyebrow in
disbelief, but after learning that Palm's new interface is 100%
javascript and that Google are well on their way with their keyboard
APIs
(http://googleajaxsearchapi.blogspot.com/2009/06/introducing-virtual-keyboard-api.html),
I think I should reconsider. In the long run though, I do need to expose
events to the host OS to make them available to all applications. If
anybody is already looking into this, I'd appreciate some advice or
maybe I can help out?
cheers!
Jorge
