Google Android 4.2 keyboard now up for download

In a move that can be seen as bypassing its partners, Google has released its stock Android 4.2 keyboard on Google Play for devices running Android 4.0 and up. At the moment it is only available in English but other languages are said to be added soon. 

The free Google keyboard will bring you gesture-based typing and typing suggestions as well as the stock typing experience you might have wanted.
