At first look I thought this keyboard was useless.  Coming back to it later I
started to see how it worked, but still switched to a full dvorak layout with
stylus all the time.

Seeing this thread I took another look ... stylus ... finger...! Now I love it! 
I can mash all over the keyboard with my fat fingers and it makes the right
words available almost every time!  No more squinting in poor light trying to
get exactly the right key with the stylus.  I think I'll be using this
predictive keyboard a lot more.
