Apple Keyboard Concept With iPhone Induction Charging & OLED Keys

As concepts go, here's perhaps an obvious one: take one of the slicker keyboards around – in this case Apple's waif-like offering – add some Optimus-style OLED keys and a dock for everybody's favorite cult smartphone, and settle back to reap the praise.  The work of Cosmo Scharf (I'm really hoping that's their real name), it would include induction charging for the iPhone 3G together with context-specific hot-keys.

According to the mocked-up product listing, the Apple Keyboard would go for a scant $79.99.  Considering how much OLED keyboards go for, as well as how much induction charging systems will set you back, that seems mighty ambitious.

Still, it's a neat idea and one that - minus perhaps the inductive charging, and its corresponding gripper magnets and rubber anti-vibration mount, replaced with a straightforward hinged or flexible docking connector – could certainly find favor among the Mac faithful.  Check out the full (fake, obviously) product page in the gallery below.
