    Apple will not give you the option, because, like with application support, it departs from Steve Jobs' golden vision.

    You want Bluetooth keyboards on your iPhone? Jailbreak it and DIY. Maybe His Steveness will finally give in once everybody else has already decided to hack around his "vision", like he did with apps.

    Its the same way I feel about an Apple Netbook. I have a Dell Mini9 Hackintosh.

    If Apple would have had that form factor with FULL ON OSX back in May, i;d have bought two of them. Even at $800, I'd have bought two. As it were, I bought two Dell Mini9 with 2GB and 64GB SSD and the webcam and all the extra fixin's and paid right about $635 each including the two OSX retail DVDs.

    Everything works.

    Palm Pilot devices had separate keyboards despite the Graffiti and pop-up keyboards. It's silly not to allow this. In many cases a person could go on a business trip or to a meeting with just the phone and the keyboard, leaving the heavier notebook behind. I understand Apple may want to make its own keyboard instead of leaving this to third parties, but then MAKE A KEYBOARD already. I'd buy one.

    I don't see the need for this with the phone... If you need a keyboard that big get a laptop... What next a larger screen to plug your iphone into when traveling?

    Am i missing the point of this device?

    I mean by the time i dig into a bag for this keyboard i might as well just grab my laptop and boot it up as then i'd have a real screen.

    The smartphone is awesome because its a computer in my pocket. The moment it isn't fitting in my pocket it's just a terrible laptop.

    @Spoony: But should you be forced to carry both, or given the choice?

    @robotonist: This one is clearly designed for a desk. But users of other smartphones get access to a range of fold up/roll up Bluetooth keyboards that can fit in your pocket.
