Iphone keyboard spotted

Fellow fat fingered Iphone users will be happy to learn that our wishes for a proper keyboard for the precioussss may soon be fulfilled.
We stumbled across this page on a US trading site which seems to be taking pre orders for the Macally BT Key Mini blue tooth keyboard which, according to the blurb, will work with the Iphone - and presumably the Ipod Touch.

It may all be a bit too good to be true, as Apple seems to think that the Iphone's virtual keyboard is perfectly adequate, so there probably won't be any useable drivers available. But maybe Macally knows something we don't.

If Apple is releasing drivers for Bluetooth keyboards then it follows that Apple's own incredibly sexy aluminium wireless keyboard will be the first in line.

The other alternative is that Macally will release its own drivers which will, of course, only work with jailbroken devices. Which makes Steve sad.

We're trying to hound Macally and Apple at the moment for an official comment and we'll update you if we hear back from either of them.
