We could just
hug LG for this one. The LBA-C300, which just ran by the FCC, is the
texting equivalent of a Bluetooth headset -- a Bluetooth device that allows you to operate your phone without actually pulling out your phone, except this time it's for hitting your peeps with rapidly a rapidly composed "LOL" or "LOL, U R." The generous keyboard looks incredibly typable, and while the entire unit borders on the size of some phones on the market, it means you can leave that bulky numeric keypad dumbphone or hard-to-use touchscreen smartphone in your pocket or bag and get some real communication done with the QWERTY Card. You can also view and store contact info, peep a clock, set an alarm and work you calendar from the device -- the Bluetooth pairing means you can even remotely control your phone's camera, though obviously much of this functionality depends on what phone you pair it with, LG phones are likely to get much better treatment. No word on release date or price, but we'll probably know more once LG actually announces the device officially.

This is how I imagined India's $10 laptop would end up looking.
This looks absolutely AMAZING!
I just hope its not horrendously expensive :(
does this thing double as a bluetooth keyboard for a pc? i just bought the mini dinovo and love it, but this thing looks pretty cool too.
"Freedom Input" already has something this size sans-display. $70 MSRP

Wow, another device to carry around, not like my pockets aint already full of shit. why dont they just throw in a phone on the thing and make it a done deal
would be nice for ps3 as well.
This is what the Folio shoulda been...
I guess this will make their watch phone easier to use. love it! think it should come free when you buy the watch phone... :)
Let's hope they don't pull a Logitech and overprice this at $150.
