I don't know about ICS (Android 4), but for Gingerbread (Android 2.3),
Android comes out-of-the-box with a fine multilingual keyboard which
includes Hebrew.

Unfortunately, some devices (including as my Samsung Galaxy Player...)
overide this good keypad with a crappy one of their own, which does NOT
support Hebrew.  For this, you can find for free on the Google
Market^H^H^H^H^H^HPlay the app "Gingerbread Keyboard" - basically someone
took the original Gingerbread (Android 2.3) source code, extracted the
multilingual keyboard (with its good Hebrew support), and compiled it as
a separate app, which anyone can install. I'm using it, and it works well.

And it's free (as in open source) software :-)
