iPhone/iPod Touch Keyboard
When the iPod and iPhone were launched, the novelty of the features made a huge impact in the gadget world. The new interface, the way of interacting with this really nice piece of technology. With the internet, the ipod and iphone were not only a phone or a audio device, they were capable of exploiting the potential of internet. However, I have found myself not only checking a web page on my iPod Touch or only reading an email, but also trying to reply emails and writing documents on the go.
I know that the predictive text in the iPod or iPhone should work but sometimes it is frustrating that I can not type as fast as I could on a normal keyboard or that the little keys are too small and make mistakes while I try to type fast. So I thought an external portable keyboard for the ipod/iphone would be great to have!. This hub is about exactly that, external portable keyboards for iphone/ipod touch. Enjoy!

The Razer Pro Solutions ProType Multimedia Keyboard is notexactly what comes my mind when I think about portable but at least it seems quite usable. If you don't mind carrying around this type of keyboard, it seems a good option. You can find it in amazon for $99.
The built-in iPod dock is fully-functioning, in that it will allow you to sync and charge your iPod. It also sports a line-out for audio, two USB ports, and 10 customizable profiles and programmable keys for that one-button iPod sync.

Very nice information here . Will check out your other hubs
In fact, I should mention that it takes a while but you actually can get used to the iphone keypad. Yes, it is quite small and you do make a lot of mistakes but the auto-correct text option does a decent job (there are cases in which it comes up with hilarious corrections).
I still think that the iphone 4 for example should include bluetooth so a portable keyboard would be an option for those who use the iphone to type text, notes or long emails.

What I have heard about external keyboards for iPods
I read recently that a way to solve this problem is simply buying a bluetooth gadget for my iPod touch and then get a bluetooth keyboard. It is not quite the solution yet but it is close.
Now I need to find out if there are external bluetooth keyboards that you can fold and how much is this bluetooth thingy for my iPod. Getting close...
UPDATE: I have not found a bluetooth keyboard than you can fold and take with you in your pocket as you can with your iPod or iPhone (that's kind of the point about it, isn't?).

The iPad in a way tries to solve this problem.
