I have the basic framework for rendering any virtual keyboard (in a resolution independent manner) almost completed. The keyboard supports touch events; however, I now have to complete the shift-key support and a few other enhancements for switching layouts (to numbers, etc).
For nostalgia, the colors are pulled from numerous pictures of Commodore 64 keyboards:

Hi been watching this slowly develop over the weeks, thanks for your efforts on this project cant wait to see the finished product :)
@Rob,
No worries mate - it is getting there. A few more days work on the keyboard, and then I'll move on to the rest of the UI - including landscape support, a file browser, and preferences / settings view. I'm also going to support the iControlPad.
Will it include some of the c64 specific keys? (i.e. c64, runstop, clr home, inst del, restore, and crsr keys)
@justjeepin,
Absolutely - I will support all the C64 keys. I want to implement this functionality, similar to the native iPhone / Touch, where you can touch and drag to the key you want to 'shift' or a double tap will 'lock' it. I also want the keyboard to show the keys, which means getting either a 'commodore' font or capturing all the images off a keyboard myself (which will take some work).
