iPhone with External Keyboard (Video)


A Japanese blog appears to demonstrate the use of an external keyboard with the iPhone. It appears to be a hack for Jailbroken phones at the moment but may raise some eyebrows:

Meh... It would be better if Apple implemented Landscape SMSing instead.
I didn't buy an iphone to make it be a laptop.

pretty pointless. Plus if I wanted an external keyboard, then I would want bigger keys. Not ones the same as the iphone itself! :D (ok they are slightly bigger but hopefully you get my point)

hmm how about something software base like on a host computer?
that would be nice if you docked your iPhone and up comes iTunes with an option to use SMS or whatever via host computer. or has this been done already?

Use www.bitesms.com instead and since the recent Beta 2.5 (you have to add a new source in Cydia, as long as it is not yet out) you can SMS in landscape mode. Although biteSMS is an internet SMS application, you can also use it with your current mobile phone provider.

I use it and it ROCKS! So many small nice features you don't have in the original SMS app.

Make it cheap and I'll buy it - my company blocks our e-mail at work so I'm stuck trying to type long e-mails on my iPhone and while I can do it I'd prefer something a little easier since I'm spending all day here. Or better yet - create a USB->iPod adapter and I can just plug in a normal keyboard if I want (I know that's niche but that's what 3rd party is for!)

This is the app I want. I would love to use a collapsable keyboard with my iPhone instead of hauling a laptop out to meetings to take notes. Would be nice if it was a simple driver that allowed any USB keyboard. That would open a market for nice netbook style keyboards. Have a feeling that's how Apple will end up approaching the Netbook market _ tablet with detachable keyboard.

how about connecting with a Bluetooth keyboard?
That's would make me get a BT keyboard over my Al USB one

And I suppose you expect me to carry that keyboard around in my pocket everywhere I go? :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

"Oh! I just got a text message. Give me a second. Let me plug in my keyboard." LOL!
