The multi-touch keyboard in 2.1 is a big improvement over the previous generation, I type much more quickly with it.

I'm a little surprised this hasn't gotten more attention.

Wait, where's this multi-touch? I have the Nexus One and if I hold down one key, I can't type another. In fact, if I start typing too quickly, I will often miss letters because I'm not lifting my thumbs up enough.

You can start typing the second key, when you remove your finger from the first key the second gets activated.

this behavior is new to 2.1

I'll have to check it out. I played with a Motorola Droid today and the typing was absolutely horrendous. Definitely a lot of room for improvement.
