How about that virtual keyboard on there?  We'd love to have something like that on our G1.

If you want the DIY stuff, head over to xda developers. When you're all done with Android, feel free to reboot and reload the Windows Mobile OS.  We doubt you would though, once you get a taste of the superior product.
