Microsoft is taking sign-ups to beta test its Word Flow keyboard for the iPhone

Microsoft have been doing a lot of good recently, developing world-class iOS apps, open-sourcing AI frameworks, and giving people a reason to use Twitter. Another project of theirs that’s coming to fruition is their new keyboard for iOS:

Earlier this week, we reported that the previously-revealed Word Flow keyboard for the iPhone was in private beta testing by Microsoft. Now the company has posted a sign-up page for iPhone owners to register their interest in trying out Word Flow.

At the risk of sounding like a grouch: a keyboard that makes network requests? No thank you. A keyboard that can be whatever color you want? No thank you. A keyboard that I can operate with one hand on my massive phone? No tha… Wait that’d be great.
