iPhone-like keyboard for the Nokia N800

It seems like everyone wants their device to look and act like an iPhone, as opposed to just getting an iPhone.  At least in the US.  Some clever folks in Brazil have written a utility for the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet that mimics the on-screen keyboard of the Apple iPhone.  You know, the keyboard that iPhone owners either love or hate.  Anyway, the keyboard that will run on the N800 is written in Python and looks pretty spiffy in this video:

Of course, it's missing the predictive text algorithm that sets the iPhone apart from all other devices.
