Polo

I wouldn't say special, but they are using the name only because Gustavo (One of the devs) did a small demo to show off python + evas (the technology behind Canola) and how fast and simple is to develop it.

The thing is that he released this demo in the same time iPhone was really up, and the keyboard was visually the same.

The features that are nice in the keyboard are :

1. Visual dictionary ( it tries to correct your type by the proximity of keys that you maybe got wrong )

2. Smart keyboard set (for Web address, email etc)

3. It doesn't take the whole screen (thus giving you a good way of keeping the context of what you're doing

4. Gives you a smaller keys but nice visual clues of what key is pressed so you can correct by dragging the finger.

For us, to do a similar thing is more to keep the context, and because we believe that we can use the space in a better way optimized for the specifics tasks.

BUT the keyboard as it is today already suffices the needs, so that's why we are not rushing to put it out. We are going to put if it really brings the benefits.
