The Microsoft Band received an update earlier today and one of the cool new features is the virtual keyboard. You can type your replies from your Band. While it sounds silly, it works really well. The keyboard uses Microsoft's World Flow technology, which predicts commonly used words and phrases. Want to see it in action? Go watch our hands-on video.

The only way to bring up the keyboard on the Microsoft Band right now is by replying to text messages. After tapping the reply button, you have the options to use the keyboard, voice dictation, or quick reply shortcuts. The main keyboard includes the standard letters with a period on the top left corner and a space button to the lower corner. You can't see what you're typing until you swipe towards the right. Don't worry if you think you are tapping the wrong letters. As long as you're tapping within the vicinity of the correct letters, Word Flow automatically predicts what you've typed.
