ThickButtons have just announced that they’ve reached version 0.9 of the beta version of their application and have urged users to go ahead and download the new version. Here are but a few of the improvements and features found in version 0.9:

• Typing in Spanish, German, English, French and Italian;
• Voice input for FroYo users;
• Smarter support of landscape mode.

I could’ve sworn English has been a supported language since the keyboard replacement was introduced, but we’re not going to grasp at straws. They’ve also published results from usability tests they’ve run. They found that users were 31% more accurate and 24% speedier when using ThickButtons compared to your traditional QWERTY keyboard.

And if we’re talking about the stock Android keyboard, then I have no hesitation in believing them. (It’s like murder for someone with hands as big as mine to type on that!) Give ThickButtons a whirl now by scanning or touching the QR code below, or by searching for “ThickButtons” in the Android market.
