iPhone Hacked and Hooked with a Physical Keyboard

Posted By Mariella Moon  Published in Apple, iPhone

Nov

I can’t say I didn’t see this coming. In fact, I’ve long waited for the day some brave soul would hack an iPhone and attach a physical keyboard to it. While the virtual QWERTY keyboard is good, you really need a physical keyboard sometimes especially when you’re doing something that requires intense typing.

Check out this hacked iPhone from Japan. The keyboard isn’t quite as attractive as I’d like, but that’s not the point here. Here’s an iPhone with a keyboard that solves the problem of those who are attracted by the iPhone’s interface but are deterred by the lack of physical keys. Of course, you can always get something like the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 instead, but I’m sure, some people digress.

I like! But does that keyboard have a spacebar?

I would love to be able to do this with a Bluetooth keyboard. I have one that was made for Palm but have been able to use it with other devices.
