How do I get a "tear drop cursor" in a text box like the Epic has?

[kaivorb]

I've tried searching, but I'm not sure I'm using the right words or I'm not getting any good hits.

My biggest pet peeve with any keyboard (I have like 8 installed I keep rotating through) is the ability to go back and quickly edit what I've typed. I try to place my thumb where I want to start typing, but it invariably is several letters off. Some keyboards at least have swipeable arrows that pop up, but my wife's EPIC has an even better solution. It has a little tear drop cursor pop up and then you can just slide it to where ever you need to be. It's AWESOME!

I thought it was keyboard specific on hers, but its not. I changed keyboards and it kept popping up. Is this just on the EPIC? Does anyone know of a way to get this working on the EVO? This would solve so many of my typing problems.

Thanks in Advance.

I believe that cursor you want is exclusive to Samsung devices with 2.2 It works in Swype, Samsung keyboard and Android keyboard....

Hey m8, its standard in the Gingerbread keyboard and here's a link to it.

Just download the APk file and install it and your ready to rock.
