Google has announced another acquisition this week, purchasing the virtual keypad startup BlindType.
The company makes corrective software for Android virtual keyboards.
BlindType says their software will correct "sloppy typing," making inaccurate typing a thing of the past.
Says Google: "We’re excited to welcome the BlindType team to Google. With their help, we hope to make touch typing on your mobile device easier and faster than ever."
Adds BlindType: "We’re excited to join Google, and look forward to the great opportunities for mobile innovation that lie ahead."
Android has quickly moved into third place in the U.S. smartphone market behind RIM and Apple with first place expected to be taken by 2012.
