Chomp SMS like an Apple does on your G1

So you've got your Android Phone (your G1 for now) and you are showing it off to all of your friends and all of a sudden someone with an iPhone walks up and starts showing off their on-screen keyboard.  Does that make you depressed?  I hope not because your phone rocks anyway!  But seriously, below are a few applications that give you an on-screen keyboard for your G1 pre-Google releasing the ability for OSKs to be integrated system-wide.

• For SMS
  
  
  
  • ChompSMS - This application is one of the best designed apps I've used on the G1.  It offers a clean SMS interface (almost identical to the iPhone app), takes over for the integrated app and offers large-font support for ease of reading.  One downside is it does not currently flip to landscape mode.  But still, definitely worth a look.
  
  
  • SoftKey/A7 SMS - While I love Chomp, A7 was first and so it needs a place on the list.  Many people have complained about A7 not working properly although when it was first released it worked fine for me.  The keyboard is awkward to type on and when I used it, it was landscape only.  This kind of defeated the purpose of the OSK for me.
  
  
  
  


• For the Web
  
  
  
  • QSearch - This app can be hard to find on the web, a search in the Android market can bring you to it.  It's a cleanly designed app that enables an OSK that can launch Maps, YouTube, Google, Amazon, a dictionary search and allows a URL to be entered.  These are all helpful while trying to use the G1 with the keyboard closed.  The problem is, these have to be launched from within QSearch, not the normal browser or applications.  For frequent searching, it should be in the G1 owners must-have toolkit.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  • Steel for Android - I've wrote about Steel on my blog before.  It's a replacement to the built-in web browser and it's fantastic.  It's fast, supports landscape and portrait mode and now supports tabbed browsing.  In addition, searching from the address bar and adding bookmarks right from there makes Steel look more like a mobile version of Chrome.  Very nice.
  
  
  
  


• For the Phone
  
  
  
  • SpellDial - SpellDial can be a replacement to the current dialer/contact application.  It allows dialing and locating of names through a T9 input method.  Simply tap the key that corresponds to the name once and you're off to the races.  If you have a large number of contacts on your G1, SpellDial can be a lifesaver.
