what new feature? the button to the left of the spacebar simply toggles the keyboard between letters and numbers/symbols? not sure what you mean...

ok,must be some jailbroken feature I didnt know was comin!
To the left of my space bar,there is a circular figured icon,which when pushed brings up a page with lots of options:...4 squared partitions each dedication to numbers, letters, all symbols, and Chinese symbols...
not sure what the advantages are...haven't played with it enough.

What version of firmware are you on? I have version 1.1.4 and I don't have anything like that, and I am jailbroken as well.

I have 1.1.4....
the icon....looks like a planet of sorts with 2 or 3 circular orbits around it.
I figured it out!!!
I had downloaded the handwriting recognition program from installer and it must create that new icon and does toggle quite a few options...as well as the handwriting option...which does work fairly well.

Yes - that is created by the HWPen handwriting recognition app ...

This came with the january update.. in settings you can select multiple languages for the keyboard, and that little icon toggles between languages for the keyboard.

It's not the handwriting thing. I don't have that installed, but I do the have the button. I have US and English keyboards selected - that buttons switches between them.

Some of what he described is definitely the new app:
