An iPhone with a keyboard ... CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE INVENTED THE NETBOOK

I used the ruler to measure the width of my palms, they add up to 180mm (90mm palm width is pretty average).
Consider the entire width of the keyboard is 215.9mm, the space between key "a" to ";" will be even smaller. From the scale of the photo, the space is approximately 150mm. I put my hands on the resting position for touch type and try to squeeze the fingers into 150mm of space. There is hardly any space.
So the folding keyboard is not going to be comfortable for normal hands.

Yep. No hope for humanity after all! :\

Well I think it's a pretty cool idea, if you use you mobile device on a regular basis and need a keyboard it would be a hell of a lot easier then trying to type with the tiny keys on the touch screen, I only use 2 fingers even on my full size keyboard so having a keyboard that size would not bother me at all.

carpal tunnel anyone? Eh, though im not the target market, for the amateur journalist, im sure this is almost priceless.

It seems the design was made for use on a fold out table on an airplane.
As such this may not be too bad. However, I have not looked at the price yet.

I want a flying car that folds into a briefcase at the press of a button. I also want a device that can reach Jane to STOP THIS CRAZY THING!

I had a bluetooth folding keyboard for my old Dell X50 pocket PC that was smaller than this. Too bad someone sat on it and broke it.

I need this for my Galaxy Note. But any bluetooth keyboard will do really.

I personally like to spend my money to build ever bigger desktops. So having my phone double as a netbook is great. I don't really need a laptop since I HATE doing real work on small devices. Posting comments on Tom's, replying to emails and reading news... YouTube is just about the only thing I'll do on any mobile device. Anything else has to wait until I am in from of my dual HD Monitors with 8-core bulldozer and the GTX480 for smooth Compiz !
