It's easy to find the .apk at XDA, if you can't find it, shoot me a PM.
I feel like I'm giving off the impression that I use the stock keyboard. I don't use it either, currently using SlideIT. Works perfect for 1-thumb typing. The Galaxy S came preinstalled with an old version of Swype that you couldn't update. It was a godsend at the time as touch inaccuracies were what I most feared when finally getting a touchscreen phone.

Didn't know Google had their own. Just as functional or better than Barcode Scanner I'm guessing?

I never managed to get a grip with SlideIT, though with Swiftkey it was love at first sight.
Its usage statistics say it has saved me over 13000 hits with its text prediction. Amazing!

Total Commander was the shit until they removed it off the market, now I prefer Root Browser.
Re: ANDROID: Apps you can't live without
Because it was costing 10 cents on the market 10 billion downloads promotions couple of weeks ago.
And I really believe its automated learning and statistics.

Yeah, but think of it this way, whichever way you learn to type starts to feel natural after awhile. I used to be able to type quickly using the number pad, now I can type quickly sliding my right thumb around. Once we get holographic keyboards, I'm pretty sure I'll learn how to type quickly with karate motions.
Re: ANDROID: Apps you can't live without
Personally I have never tried the swype method, it never seemed it would work for me. I believe it can be useful for texting while driving though, but as swiftkey has an excellent error correction, I never saw the need to try something different.
