Google released their google keyboard as an app in the market but I cannot install it. The error is "Application already exists". I am on a Att Note 1 (touchwiz\unrooted). No other keyboards are installed. Does anyone know how to install this?

edit: Despite this error message, the only option I have in my keyboard settings is "samsung keyboard"

    It comes as part of the stock android install, mine updated last night (note the word updated, I never installed it). –  Jun 06 '13 at 16:15
  • And before you ask why then it's put on Play at all: 1) to be updated to devices already having a previous version of it, as it also happens with the Google Play app itself, and b) for those devices whipping with a different one (e.g. devices from LG). – Izzy Jun 06 '13 at 18:42
  • AOSP keyboard from Play store requires ICS upwards, just something to keep in mind! – t0mm13b Jun 12 '13 at 00:06

You may change package name and install it as separate user app

Links for version 4.0.21203.1613964 apk with already changed package name and additional symbols: source (russian forum with registration) or mirrors
