Buy This Product That Doesn't Work (Yet)

by Tim Berry on November 24, 2009

I was searching for an iPhone keyboard because I’d like one. The idea of taking just the iPhone on business travel is attractive to me, but without a keyboard, forget it. So I searched and came up with this. In case you can’t read it (I shrunk the page to fit here), it’s saying that this keyboard connects to the iPhone via Bluetooth, but not on any currently available iPhone. It says you can add your name to the list of people waiting to buy it.

And if you’re curious, or interested, click the picture; it goes back to the source.

I couldn’t resist passing this on, because it’s a novel approach. The product doesn’t work until the larger vendor does something. But here it is.
