   i would totally use something like this i thought at first that the keyboard in the iphone was cool but it is hard to use and covers a lot of the screen. This would also be just the first step in iphone attachments, i wouldnt be surprised if they come up with an Xbox-like controller for iphone to play really intense games

   yeah i saw this over at tuaw.com, pretty sweet, the iphone should come with this kind of accessory, would add a bunch of buyers from T-Mobile, since they’re used to full keyboarded phones like the Sidekick.

   The point is… Why don’t they make the keyboard in Text app or BiteSMS to landscape mode? So we can type faster, instead of having a touch-screen but use the keyboard??

   cool, a physical keyboard beneath a touchscreen keyboard.

   i’ve got another great idea. Why don’t we place an modified old typewriter in front of the physical keyboard, and everytime we push a key on the typewriter, it hits a key on the physical keyboard, which types text into our iphone WHITH INTEGRATET TOUCH-KEYBOARD.

   And for the professionals of us, we coul’d add hydraulics with an remote, to push the keys on the old typewriter. So we don’t need to carry around all the heavy stuff.

   i’m sure if we try hard we can get the iphone to an size of a phonebooth. Yes we can.

   But respect to the guys for the realization of an additional keyboard. I think it yould be quite useful with an large keyboard, but then i have to ask, why do we have computers?

   Guys, it’s a MOBILEPHONE

   I agree mate. And if u adding a typewriter with hydraulics with remote then sum1 might as well add tht remote to a pc & come up with a voice recognition software which presses da keys of da typewriter and makes da text appear on screen. LOL.
   Or u just develop a voice app to help u type.
   I’d go for my second option.
   Cheers
   P.s. It’s just a thought

    I’d go for a BT hack of a full size keyboard. Plug in a micro projector and its good-by to laptops…

    As soon as we have this with a full sized keyboard and proper iphone os integration, we have a windows mobile killer..

    Would also make the ipod touch a suitable replacement for a low cost pda..

    I need to have a Bluetooth phone with the LifeDrive – which is the greatest device for me (writer) with the folding separate keyboard – Filemaker Mobile – WiFi – perfect for writing on the plane and other cramped & improvised situations – Someday the iphone will add an external keyboard and beat this combo (phone, keyboard, LifeDrive) – Mac user since ‘84, so I’d like it to happen – ‘Til then, I’ll stick with the best wireless mini-mega-input rig.

    We got a standard external keyboard working using iPhone SDK 2.0 and no jailbreaking:
