Think you’ve seen iPhone keyboards? This, my friends, is an iPhone keyboard. It’s called iType, and it’s pretty much the same keyboard you see on laptops, only for the iPhone.
If you’re wondering why on Earth would anyone want to turn their iPhone () into something 10 times bigger, wait just a second; this thing may not be as useless as it seems. Since it doubles as an iPhone charger, it might be of use to heavy SMS and Twitter () users who’ll be able to type messages quicker when at home.
Still, if you think that a full-size QWERTY keyboard for the iPhone is crazy, ION Audio (the company behind the iType) has launched another similar accessory for the iPhone: a piano keyboard called iDiscovery Keyboard. This one will probably become obligatory for the folks at iBand.
The iType comes in two different colors: gray and black. It should become available somewhere in the first half of 2010, for the price of slightly more than $100. The price for the iDiscovery Keyboard is unknown.
