Times at which these keyboards will be released tomorrow???

Many have already been admitted to the App Store for submission. So whenever Apple wants to allow them through, probably mid morning with the official release of iOS 8.

Anyone else waiting for a classic iOS keyboard to show up? I miss the "feel" of it.

The feature could be announced at the rumoured October iPad event. It's pretty likely that they'll do another event for the iPad/Mac which I predict will be on October 21st.

I just recently went back to stock on my iPhone 5 and am dying without SwipeSelection. I hope somebody can do something with iOS8 that is close to that.

Does anyone know if the keyboards will be allowed to use the vibrator for key presses like android phones do? That is the one feature I miss a lot when using my iPhone.

Hopefully the keyboards can integrate Dictation into them, and that we just haven't seen the capability of that yet from the sample screenshots given.

We'll find out in roughly 4.5 hours or so, upon iOS 8 release.

I read that SwiftKey will be free, and that Swype will be $0.99 to buy. Should be interesting.....

I was hoping most of them went with a freemium or something like that. Cause i wanted to try the keyboards out, and then buy if i like it. I know most of them probably will be relatively cheap if they do charge, but i would still want to try them for myself first.

Yeah SwiftKey is freemium like that; free to download & install & use, but a $0.99 in-app purchase to use SwitftKey Cloud. That seems fair.
