 =Operation=
-Unlike the Palm Symbol keyboard, you do not have to open the Pre's hardware keyboard to get the on-screen keyboard.  Double-tapping the gesture area (near the round silver button) will bring up the on-screen keyboard if you are in a text input field. Tap with two fingers separated or Double-tap quickly.  Currently the rendering takes a few seconds, and a 3rd tap will hide/stop the rendering.  After you double-tap the blinking cursor should freeze for a few seconds while the keyboard renders.  Be patient, future versions will work to minimize the load lag.  When the Virtual Keyboard is displayed, a single tap on the gesture area will hide it.

 The Palm Pre lacks a stock Virtual Keyboard, which can come in handy in many situations.  Having a virtual keyboard is good for quick text responses/notes without having to stress the slider too much.  Although the biggest use for a virtual keyboard on the Palm Pre is landscape mode.  The goal of this Patch/Application is to have a fully integrated Virtual Keyboard for the many tasks where it is an inconvenience to use the hardware keyboard.
