--- Comment #18 from Luke Hutchison luke.hutch@gmail.com --- Yes, this is still relevant. Google Pinyin is the most important Chinese input method today, it is significantly better than alternatives and it is used by many Chinese people for their own input needs.
(There's a port of the open source Google Pinyin Android IME to Linux, but it may not even be derived from the same codebase as Google Pinyin, so I'm not sure how good it is, and it is still a work in progress: https://code.google.com/p/scim-googlepinyin/ )
