Google on-screen keyboard gadget
Looks like Google is in the process of developing some sort of on-screen keyboard gadget for iGoogle for entering search queries.In its current incarnation, the iGoogle keyboard gadget is built by a Google Developer in Google's Bangalore India office with language options including:
- Hindi
- Tamil
- Kannada
- Malayalam
- Telugu
- Gujarati
- Sanskrit
- Bengali
- Punjabi
- Nepali
- Marathi
- Oriya
- Assamese
What could these keyboards be used for besides entering search terms? Some form of an early mobile phone application prototype? There are currently no English versions of the gadget, so if anyone has any other ideas on what it could be used for, please drop us a line.

Quite handy when you're using a computer without these keyboard layouts installed.
