So small....
But can it run Crysis?

Don't remind me...
Running CW on my PC was a stuttering nightmare. My 9600GT was crying after attempting to run it.
Guess it's time to build that CrossFire Dual 4870 gaming rig now.
That guy has the longest fingers I've ever seen.
its called Marfan syndrome
LOL
Yao Ming's left hand....that is....
So maybe it's just a normal sized keyboard then.
Yeeeahhh.. I'm calling the shengies on this one. Maybe the keyboard exists, but super tiny? Maybe to Larry Bird or Conan O'Brien. Or ET.
Don't kid yourself, that guys hand is huge.
That hand belongs in an apple patent application.
Or Nokia, actually. Except rather than a handshake, the hand loves gadgets more.
Win! +1
no wireless no buy
Would have ben great with Bluetooth version.
My thoughts exactly.
I'd love to have this as my PS3 keyboard. If it this had BT then it would be better than Sony's new offering - I just can't get into that weird keyboard that clamps onto the top of the controller thing that Sony is doing. 95% of my console typing needs do not involve simultaneous use of the thumb-sticks and typing, so this is way better.
Hope a BT version comes soon.
SWEET. I can become Johnny from MGS4.
Exactly.
I wonder if this keyboard is as uncomfortable as the Palm butterfly keyboard.
I loved my Palm butterfly keyboard.
i don't understand a situation where this would be needed?
Kitchen PC, MAME PC, car pc, ... any number of specialized appliance PCs
CarPC FTW. At that size, it could slide easily into a lot of center consoles.
It wouldn't take much to strap it to your wrist for a wearable computer.
They should make a bluetooth version
Okay.... So where can I get one?
hit the read link , takes you to the shop. i just bought this for £15 inc shipping.
Get it here even cheaper, free shipping too.

Typing crisis?
Good thing my phone runs Windows Mobile Professional, there is no doubt in my mind that this will be compatible with it.
Your mind fails. It's a USB keyboard, and your device most likely does not have USB hosting. If it were bluetooth it would work, but it's not, so, Fail.

Can you get a wrist strap for it?
Wii you like to type?
If they make that one foldable so I can break in in half then I still wouldn't know what to run with such a keyboard. Maybe when all the open phones come out some people might need more comfortable ssh input devices.
That looks awful like an eeepc Keyboard.
Would it work with my palm tx?
only if your TX comes with USB adapter, mine didn't
TI-89 titanium ftw
But does it have what plants crave?
Woot, I'm not the only one that read it as "brawndo" the first time around!
I need to watch that movie again soon...
I visited the brawndo website, and the youtube video parody is funny, but what Fox movie is it from?
Is that keyboard made by Alienware, cuz the had sure is!
looks like a good keyboard, and i like the layout. would be a nice option to contend w/ bluetooth keyboards like my iGo stowaway...big downer is, it doesn't fold. The iGo is about that same size when not folded, but thankfully closes to have that which you can then slip in its carrying pouch. deal breaker for me
this half the size of the stowaway.
umm...i have this for the stowaway 5.5 x 3.9 x 0.5 inches
they have this 6.7- x 2.8- x 0.6-inches
half the size...unless my figures are wrong, i think not.
"The iGo is about that same size when not folded"
the igo is about 11 inches when not folded , this is 6.7 inches. i think 5.5 and 6.7 are in the same ball park .. but 11 and 6.7 are totally different .
There are many on this site and others who will not buy a phone like the Touch HD, which is just the most bad ass'd phone yet, because of no keyboard.
So, maybe someone wants to make a blue-tooth keyboard that is super tiny like the size of the one on a tilt or G1... then you could have a trim and svelte phone and still have a keyboard for 'those times'.
But, I have to say, I just installed a 3rd party tough screen keyboard that works great on my tilt, and after some tweaking of the settings I now doubt I will be using the hardware keyboard that much.
I would love to have the Touch HD with a blue-tooth keyboard, the only thing that could be improved upon with that would be pressure sensitive pen mode for drawing/painting.
It would even make using Blender workable!

just an option,
If your looking for a bluetooth version I found a review on one just as small...

that keyboard is rubbish. it doesnt have proper keys.
I'm glad it has "Silent switch feeling, feel comfortable".
if only someone could put a hinge on this and weld it to the iphone
