I think I'm one of the few people left in this world who still refuse to join the
iPhone cult. I'll admit it, sometimes I get a little jealous when I see people at the gym listening to their music
and making calls from one sleek device while I'm trying to juggle my
PDA and my prehistoric video iPod... but I'm sorry -- I NEED a keyboard! REAL buttons that you push. Not a touchscreen with pretend keys and a "word predictor" that tries to guess what I'm trying to type through the inevitable typos. It shouldn't have to guess! Apparently our friends over at
Mobile Mechatronics had the same frustrations, because they came up with one seriously genius idea: the
iTwinge. It's an attachable keyboard that simply slips on over your iPhone, providing REAL push-able buttons for more accurate (and quicker) texting and e-mailing. Of course, I'm not sure if the convenience of having keys is worth having to constantly take the device on and off whenever you're done with an e-mail or text... so while this clever add-on is definitely worth the splurge for curious iPhone owners, I'm not sure if it's cool enough to make a convert out of a Palm girl like me!
Price: $29.99
Who Found It: xgalexy was the first to add the
iTwinge to the Hive.
