Apple iPhone 4 gets a physical QWERTY
You have wanted a physical QWERTY on your Apple iPhone 4 ever since Apple's latest handset was released? Well, your cure is now available – it's called Keyboard Buddy iPhone 4 Case – and the clumsy name aside, it provides you with a slide-out landscape-orientation physical keyboard for your Apple gadget.

The good news is that the Keyboard Buddy iPhone 4 Case doesn't pose a problem for the rear-facing camera, the iPhone 4's controls and other vital hardware features' functionality. Furthermore, the manufacturer claims that the keyboard that's connected via Bluetooth to the device has a charge duration of 45 days. The bad news is obvious – it makes your iPhone 4 bigger in appearance – but you can't have it all.

We told you two days ago how another kit – this time one that turns the black iPhone 4 into a white iPhone 4 – earned his inventor, a NY teenager, $130 000. Now, here is yet another kit for the iPhone 4 owners that not only provides it with a physical QWERTY, but also protects the device. Everyone wants a piece of the Apple pie, right? You can pre-order it from the Box Wave link below for $69.95 and it's set to be available on December 14. Anyone hoping to get it for Christmas?

nice, but makes me wonder if iPhone users may want to sacrifice the slim phone for a keyboard, and how convenient will it turn out to be

iphone was ground breaking for being a keyless phone. This reversion is a step backwards only confusing its client base. or, would that make nokia correctas they said in 2007 "customers want physical keyboards". so the keyless phones were a three year industry fad, and phones like the Motorola droid and palm were the real power houses listening to the ppl's requests. Excellent touch screens AND a keyboard to boot. beh.... clearly i'm bored ...i just wanted to type a comment.... on my KEYBOARD

It looks pretty convenient for a small sized screen.. i just can't use anything below 4" now

What the duece? Now i see why Apple iPhone designers opted for full touch. This a real life illustration of what an ugly bastard of a phone the iPhone would be with a slide out keyboard.

I don't think this will be the Android killer.

Nice solution for iPhone.
Does anyone think that there is use for a product that lets you feel the key on an iPad. I always felt it was a problem to type and not actually feel the keys. One of the problem of having a screen keybord
