I don't know why, but for some reason, I really like this. The one problem though is that there's still no tactile response from touching a screen. I suppose there could be a way to combine this with haptic feedback in some way. Although this looks very nice, you still have to press a "key" and then perform another gesture to select your letter.
You don't need to drag the key to select the letter. The predictive text works the same way as many mobile phones by choosing the correct letter for you.
My personal negative point towards this keyboard is that it doesn't allow easy access to many symbols. The standard on-screen keyboard gives me access to 26 letters, 10 numbers and 26 symbols without having to change mode. This only gives me letters and 16 symbols, with everything else pushed into tabs.
