I know on more than one occasion I have wished that I had a keyboard for my iPad or iPhone that was larger than the onscreen keyboard, but easy to use in the air without a desk.

Shane McGlaun, May 6th 2011 Discuss [0]

The Blackberry PlayBook has been around for a while now. The tablet hasn't received the most glowing reviews, but RIM is still plugging away on the device. A rumor surfaced not long ago that the PlayBook would get a 10-inch version in time for the holiday season that would bring a larger screen to the mix. You may have been surprised that the PlayBook didn’t launch with an official keyboard accessory considering that RIM is trying to position the PlayBook as a content creation tool.

I've spent a lot of time looking at strange keyboards. Anyone remember the miniguru?

You can't accuse Best Buy's marketing department of being afraid to shoot the golden goose.

Showing the new 10.1-inch Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet paired with its nifty battery-toting keyboard dock, the retailer contrasts it with what's clearly an iPad taped to a keyboard with the headline "Like That. But Better." Read The Full Story

We were reasonably impressed by Logitech's Revue when we reviewed the Google TV STB last year, but one of our main concerns was how living room friendly the standard wireless keyboard remote was. Logitech will happily sell you its mini controller, but at $129 it's a whole lot more expensive than EFO's wireless Google TV keyboard. Video demo after the cut Read The Full Story
