Blackberry 10 keyboard tweak

One of my blogs a couple of weeks ago was about blackberry10 and it's likeness towards the iphone 4. I was talking about the keyboard and it's functionality from the video, well that same keyboard has been implemented into the cydia and available for Idevices. It's a free tweak from the bigboss repo.

The tweak is called octopus and it allow you to insert words into your active text field by swiping up from a letter. If you type in W, it will bring suggestions, above the H button it will bring up the When or on the A button it will bring up the word What, this tweak is very clever and learns by itself, it remembers what you type so you could write out a full sentence with only typing one letter and the rest of them are swipes. I'm sure this function is featured on BB10.

I've tested this tweak and it seems to hold up to it's name, it works as advertised, there are some apps where this tweak doesn't work like third party apps from the app store, it works very very well with the notes application and the messages app.

Weeks have gone by since the arrival of the BB10 video, well it turns out the operating system on the prototype device is a scaled down version of the tablet version, it's not the finalized version of the Blackberry OS but i'm sure they were trying to push out the look and feel of what's to come.
