This hack adds a third-party mini-keyboard to the iPhone, effectively turning Cupertino’s darling into a Compaq iPaq circa 2001. Does the iPhone really need a keyboard, people?

After using the iPhone for a little over a year, I find that the onscreen keyboard is intuitive and useful. The same can’t be said for many keyboards I’ve tried although I’ll admit a nice little Blackberry Curve keyboard would be a nice addition if it could be unobtrusive. Oh well. Pipe dreams.
