Where would you like the button to be placed? Or what trigger would be best to use? Would it be suitable if double-tapping the device would bring up the virtual keyboard? The accelerometer's ability to detect double-tap is not used at all, as far as I know.
It would probably be a separate application/package, and I doubt it can be written in time for the deadline. Unless there is an easy-to-find example of code to force the virtual keyboard to be shown, and I haven't seen it yet.
Edit: hildon-input-method can give code how to force virtual keyboard to be shown. So, what should be the trigger?
