They've been about for iPhone 4 for some time now.

Pain in the @ss if the phone doesn't support landscape mode though.

Wish they did it for the N8... I miss the keyboard of the N900 while I'm out & about..

Yeah, wish it wasn't just for iPhone. If they would make this for more phone models, I would expand my options for phones to buy. (I need a slideout keyboard!) :)

I wonder if you could actually modify that.

Take the iPhone cradle off and fit one that takes the N8, maybe from one of those leather Propota type cases.

It's bluetooth so I think you can modify it :) redesign the frame

If anyone can get their hands on one and have a good look at the possibility. Seems like the sort of gadget O2 would stock.

If I'm passing an O2 shop I'll go and have a ferckle.

Wow! that looks interesting. In the end, they should have just bought the N900 and saved all the add-ons. Ha ha! :D

Well, bluetooth strap-ons are an unfortunate kludge, no argument.

But even with the extra power consumed, I bet the iPad has significantly better battery life than the MacBook, plus you can leave the keyboard/case behind when you don't expect to be typing enough to justify the added bulk/weight.

This is why I'm (still, almost a year later :rolleyes:) on the pre-order list for the Ai Touch Book, a proper implementation of ARM slate with detachable keyboard, even though it's got a rather pathetic 1024x600/9" resolution.

Whoot!? iPhone doesn't support full landscape mode?! What type of crap is that?! Sigh.. reminds me of all the people complaining how Maemo5 didn't support full portrait mode...

I've seen non-attached versions of this on meritline and the like for much cheeper. I think you're paying mainly for the case mod in this case. Nice if you want it (and have an app that supports what you want to do in rotated mode).

They already have add-on speakers, next, they'll probably come up with strap-on screen magnifiers (like what Nintendo did with the earlier Gameboys)...again, I think if someone needed these add-ons, should have gotten the N900 (for phone keyboard) or MacBook. :cool:

Edit: Typo

Honestly I would die for one of these on the Galaxy S.
