The author describes the Android virtual keyboard as being inferior to Apple's, and spends two paragraphs talking about how he could not locate a known replacement keyboard application "Better Keyboard" ($2.99) in either the Android Market or through Google search, concluding with "Long story short, I ended up finding the app and using it." It's not clear how he did so, as the link to the app in the review only goes to another page on the same site.
To me, this says a lot about Android--where it is, where it is going, and what it has to offer users and developers alike.
I believe his account is somewhat outdated: when you search for "Better Keyboard" on the Market--at least in Android 1.6--the first thing that comes up is the app. But I do remember a time when what he said was true and finding the app on the Market was difficult.
