Well, what will they think of next? Next month, BoxWave will be shipping their QWERTY sliding keyboard for iPhone 4. Now, I know that some people may be thinking “why not just get a phone with a QWERTY keyboard instead of shelling out more cash and adding some bulk to iPhone’s sleek design?” Well, it’s pretty clear that customizability is the future of consumer electronics, and it is becoming easier and easier to achieve.
The Keyboard Buddy is cool concept with a kind of lame name. BoxWave maintains the sleek iPhone aesthetic and connects via Bluetooth, sliding out smoothly, guided by a spring hinge. Keyboard Buddy attached with a snap on shell case and doesn’t obstruct any of the iPhone’s buttons or the camera.
It retails for $69.95.
