EFO may not have quite reached Brando levels low-cost gadget fame, but it did manage to catch our attention recently with its HTPC-friendly iPazzPort keyboard, and it's now back with another interesting little device: the iPazzPort mini Bluetooth keyboard. As you can see, this one is simply a tiny Bluetooth keyboard, which EFO says is "tailor-made for handheld devices" and, of course, perfect for use with the iPhone or iPad. It's also reasonably cheap -- just $32 -- and it would seemingly be a good starting point for DIY-minded individuals looking to build, say, an iPhone case with a built-in keyboard. Head on past the break for a quick a video, and another shot of the keyboard sized up against an iPhone.
Check meritline for "mini bluetooth keyboard" before buying one of these. I got a similar keyboard (without the lights) for $22.
Well I do better with physical keyboards so good for this device.
Where is the trackpad?
OK, does anyone make a larger bluetooth keyboard that I could use to operate this thing?
Anyone looking for a mini Bluetooth keyboard should check out the Logitech DiNovo Mini. I don't own one, but I installed on with a 2010 Niveus n7 for a client. Its quite a cool little device. Takes a bit to get used to but is otherwise awesome. It's not intended for typing novels or heavy web surfing, but it certainly gets the job done on your couch.

@muzicman82 and your wallet. $150 for a mini bluetooth keyboard? I'll pass.
@Plugh I'd actually rather spend more money on something usable and even prettier than something that will end up unused since it doesn't get the job done. Yea, the DiNovo Mini is a bit expensive, but for a home theater it's perfect. You can get good deals on Logitech stuff from time to time. It's not for a phone though, even though it may work.
I just spent several mintues to compare the gadget cost betwen brando and efo. I felt that efo was cheaper.
