Exploring New Technology - web services/features released long time back.

I want you to see what i installed just recently on my Android phone -

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.inputmethod.japanese

and

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.inputmethod.hindi

I dont understand why, but 

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.inputmethod.latin

is incompatible with my device (s) [Includes an Android x86 installation and 2 Xperia M devices]

 

Google Input Tools was updated/enhanced long back in February 2013. adding support for 100 or 80 languages back then, see blogpost -
