Thank you Brad. This is very comforting. I just used the browser on my Nexus one to download the .apk file. It downloaded fine, but now what?
the app (actually a service, since it's a keyboard) does not show up under language & keyboard. How do I use what I have apparently downloaded? Thanks How do I assure that I do have the Mime type set up on my server?
