I want a foldable, full-size keyboard for the iPhone/iPod Touch that connects through the dock connector. I'd much rather have that than Bluetooth, which is a pain in the neck, bringing more interference, one more battery to worry about and additional battery drain in the iPhone itself. Not to mention Bluetooth means it won't work with the iPod Touch.

I would prefer a Bluetooth keyboard, myself. I hate wires; they are so 20th century. I would be a little surprised if Apple was trying to get royalties from Bluetooth connectivity. Imagine what would happen if every cell phone manufacturer wanted royalties from every Bluetooth headset manufacturer. I'm hoping that Apple just needs to add iPhone support for the Bluetooth keyboard stack. I just received my iPhone a couple of days ago and had the same thought: With a keyboard I might not need to bring a laptop with me on every trip I take, now that I can check email and the Internet with my iPhone.

well, I have got to say similar as jonro. I've an apple wireless keyboard and am wondering why can not it be paired with an iPhone? some kinda code would come in to play and we all would be happy

Nearly everyone who needs one now. If someone bought a laptop just for checking email and a little Web surfing, then they would probably get by with just an iPhone. Anyone who does real work on their notebook will still need it. As far as word processing goes, the iPhone's screen is okay for writing notes, but I wouldn't find it adequate for serious writing, even with a Bluetooth keyboard. It all depends upon how you use your portable computer.

Mid-June and still no news on a Bluetooth keyboard for the iPhone? This is the ONE reason why I can't buy the iPhone. With my stinking Windows Mobile I don't have to bring a laptop 99% of the time when I am on the road, thanks to a $75 (eBay price) foldable keyboard from Freedom Universal.

With the iPhone I would have to carry my full size, and very expensive laptop. Then I'd have to worry about it when I leave it at the hotel. Aside from the cost it has a lot of sensitive data and I don't want to take that risk unless I absolutely have to. Come on Apple, unlock that Bluetooth feature on the iPhone!

Btw folks, the Freedom Universal keyboard also works with the Blackberries.
