the swipe keyboard apparently is also available in Android OS. When I say swipe keyboard i mean when you swipe down and it goes away. If you knew this I'm sorry, if you didn't I'm glad to help, it's pretty helpful.
I noticed that too. Also found a keyboard app called Better Keyboard that allows for SureType and T9 input modes and different keyboard skins. You can also swipe it up/down and left/right to change modes.
