"Cupcake" update still in the works for Android

G1 users may be getting a much-needed update which comes with a virtual on-screen keyboard (similar to the iPhone).  This would be a nice addition since users have to slide open the keyboard for all typing purposes.  It is slightly inconvenient to slide the keyboard out, especially if you are typing a short response, so this update will eliminate that completely.  Call it copying the iPhone if you want, but it’s practical and makes perfect sense.  There is not a specific date set for the release, but lets hope it is soon!
