iTwinge Gives iPhone A Pointless Physical Keyboard

Mobile Mechatronics iTwinge.Looks like somebody really thinks the iPhone should have a physical keyboard. So much so, in fact, that they made one. The company is Mobile Mechatronics and the product in question is the iTwinge, a physical keyboard that plugs in to the dock connector on your iPhone and lays over the screen where the keys would normally be.

Why Mobile Mechatronics felt the need to make this little device is beyond me. It’s ugly as sin, and the fact that it draws power from the phone makes me cringe. There’s also the fact that it covers almost half your screen, meaning you’ll need to remove the thing and stuff it in a pocket for regular phone use. To cap things off, MM wants you to spend $30 on the thing. All I can say is good luck. It’s probably not gonna happen.

Alereon Wants You To Sync Your iPhone Wirelessly

Alereon.I think I want that too. Alereon has been trying to push wireless USB for a while now, a cause their new device will surely help.

The device (referred to henceforth as “the device”) remains unnamed and unphotographed, which makes me wonder why they made the announcement. From what they say, though, the device plugs into your iPhone or iPod touch charge port and allows you to sync up with iTunes wirelessly. Pretty snazzy. It also offers some additional battery power to make sure you get a good sync.

Apparently future iterations of the device will allow you to stream video and pics to TVs, also wirelessly. Of course, no one has any idea what the thing looks like, how much it will cost, or pretty much anything else. The idea, though, seems pretty cool.
