Default Steel mobile browser hits the Android Market, comes equipped with an on-screen keyboard

In the market, the Steel description says it does not support multiple windows. I installed it just now and it rotates, but there is no on-screen keyboard and I can't get any menus to come up. I get the icons at the bottom for forward/back, zoom, add bookmark, bookmarks. When I clicked the bookmark icon, I got a black screen and could not back out of it.

Ideas?

Just installed it - and I like it. I don't see the online keyboard however. I do like this a lot better than Opera...

As far as the Bookmarks screen goes - the app doesn't come default with Bookmarks built in, I just added a bookmark and went to the screen, it shows my bookmark.

There's no option to clear cache. So if you're already running low on space, this will eat up a little more space without the ability to clear it.

Eventually Steel will have plenty of great features including multiple windows, downloads, configurations, clear application history and cache and an on-screen keyboard. Yes you read it right, an on-screen keyboard will be added.
Keywords: "Eventually" and "will be added"

Going to be a nice addition once these features are added.
