XSKN has produced a Bluetooth keyboard for the iPhone and iPod touch namely the iKeyboard. The device is actually a modified Apple Bluetooth keyboard featuring icons on the keys. XSKN will release the iKeyboard by the end of the year for $160 a pop.
F-keys have stenciled icons for the standard iPhone tasks (Mail, Safari, etc), and the keyboard letters have logos for some of the most popular iPhone apps. It actually doesn’t look too bad, but there’s no way to customize the icons. I’ve never used LinkedIn, so it would seem pointless blazoned all over my L key.
XSKN says that it’s currently working with a U.S. engineering firm that specializes in “Made for iPod” stamps. Of course, it’s also waiting on that pending Bluetooth driver—as are rivals like the $100 MacAlly BTKeyMini.
