if you read it’s a Photoshop of the ROM he thinks should be made. and not what is done already.
As for the virtual keyboard its near impossible right now with SDK 1.0 as Google has removed the function ( windowManager.injectKeyEvent() ) previously available on earlier versions of SDK to simulate a keystroke. This was done as a security precaution, for not allowing applications to fiddle with other applications.
And I know this as I am a developer myself was making an application for one click use of calling cards where you just dial a number and it will call the calling card toll free number and dial the number after call gets connected. My development came to a screeching halt when I came to know about this. And now i cannot simulate keystrokes for dialing the numbers.
May be google includes this in the next version of the SDK but for now unless someone jumps right into the code of android Operating System (Its open source now) and makes that functionality public.

The chances are there but rare.
Hmmm... Maybe I'm missing a point of what you're saying, or misunderstanding you, but AndNav has a virtual keyboard in it. It looks a lot like the iphone one, and works pretty much exactly how you'd expect. If you're saying a virtual keyboard can't be made that works over the top of any other program, or part of the OS, I guess that's different... But a virtual keyboard does work, and is working well in AndNav (about the only thing that works well in AndNav, from what I can tell...)
