Apple Supposedly Working on iPhone With Slide-Out Keyboard (Realllly?)

Apple mutilate the form gene of the iPhone to create a mutant with a slide - out keyboard just to please business users sounds about as far out there as it gets , but that ’s exactly what the Reg is suggest . According to their study ( unclear whether it ’s from “ inside Cupertino ” or “ inside roving operator ” ’cause of their phrasing ) , “ whether or not [ Steve Jobs ] ever fix it work , he is already trying to make a ‘ slide - out ’ keyboard for a corporate edition of the iPhone ” that he ’s usher prototypes of to sure operators . If this thing ever came to light source , it would be way next twelvemonth and not aimed at consumer .

We ’re last to say this emerging from the depths of Apple seems pretty unlikely - as much as Apple might want to crib marketshare from BlackBerry and Co. ( whichrests in part on the keyboard ) , we just do n’t see Apple make computer hardware just for business user , specially potentially bulky , less than esthetically perfect computer hardware . ( Though Apple would manifestly jolly it up . ) Besides , you do get used to the keyboard - though driving while texting your mum is n’t as sluttish . [ The Register ]
