Where is the external keyboard for the iPhone?
I won’t need a laptop if the iPhone works with a bluetooth keyboard or even with a keyboard with a iPod dock built in. I know somebody has to be working on this, especially now that there is all kinds of excitement for the iPhone SDK.
BTW, I am getting a iPhone 3G when my Blackberry dies.
Inquiring minds: Do you really need it?
Me: Yes, yes, yes. Please believe me.
Here is how it stands, I either get a laptop or an iPhone so I can work on the road. My G5 is getting old so I rather spend money on a new desktop instead of a laptop as desktops are generally better for editing and last so many more years. An iPhone with a keyboard will not let me edit but I can write which is the biggest reason why I need a mobile device. See, doesn’t that make perfect sense?
Inquiring minds: You going to write on that small screen?
Me: Yes, yes, yes. Why don’t you believe me?

Let me know if you find an external keyboard. My Blackberry is starting to show it’s age, and I might just buy an iphone 3G if an external keyboard of some type is available.
If not, I may wait to see what comes of other projects: OpenMoko, Google’s project, or the BlackBerry Thunder…I’m not sure if The Steve is the one who is holding back an external keyboard or what - doesn’t seem like a hard problem to solve, if Apple allows it to be solved. Of course, many users apparently DO view it as a problem, in spite of the dogma about not needing an external keyboard, which you and I know both know is hogwash.

How can there not be bigger demand for this??? It would be so much easier to reply to emails with an external keyboard. They exist for other handheld devices. I’m just so confused about why all the information on the web about this is 6 months to a year old. Maybe we’re the only people in the world who want this.
