Apparently there is a new type of virtual keyboard for Android 2.2 Froyo smartphones called 8pen which apparently could launch as of today, but to be honest as I struggle to get to grips with the Swype keyboard so I get the right word, this 8pen seems way to difficult for me.

However maybe you bright sparks out there will be able to get to grips with it on your Android device easily. As 8pen isn’t available for you to try out and is somewhat difficult to describe, w have a video overview of 8pen for your viewing pleasure.

The 8pen video comes our way courtesy of the guys over at Mobile Crunch and lasts just over the 4 minute mark with the basics of the 8pen keyboard by 3qubits, who have come up with 8pen kicking off at about 1:08 minutes.

Anyway the best way to find out if you could possible work out this new Android based 8pen keyboard is to jump on down, mash that play button and check it out, but please feel free to let us know your thoughts by posting us a comment…enjoy.
