SDI Technologies, Inc., the makers of the popular iHome iPod clock docks, is release a new line of computer peripherials called Lifeworks, and it almost gave me hope for an iPhone/iPod Touch keyboard darn it!
Building on their immense success with the iHome line, SDI Technologies is expanding in to computer keyboards, mice, webcams and more. While I am not sure if the world needs another manufacturer of these parts, one keyboard, the iConnect, in particular grabbed my attention.
Ever since the iPhone and iPod Touch first launched, I have longed for a physical keyboard I could plug in to for those times when I needed to type quite a bit I hoped for a travel size one I could work on in the car and so on, ut, alas, it has never come to be. When I first saw the picture of an iPod Touch docked with a keyboard, I thought I was finally getting my wish, but still no joy for me. Basically it is a glorified dock for your gadget and not a whole lot else.
Why?
Every iPod and iPhone comes with a free sync cale, why buy a non-ergonomic keyboard just to have a place to put your gadget for charging? I have to say without seeing it in person yet I would call this keyoard a pretty large miss.
