Rumors swirl about keyboarded iPhone

It seems that there is a very, very secret prototype in Apple HQ of an iPhone with a slide-out keyboard. It won’t be aimed at the average Joe but instead be focused on the BlackBerry set. The Register says:

And he has taken this beyond just chatting: actual prototypes - not just mockups - have been sent to senior executives at some operators. I’m not allowed to even hint which operators… but I can report that the keyboard has “issues” which are not yet resolved.

I say don’t hold your breath.

Ya, the chances of that happening are the same as Apple updating theit Cinema Displays: Zero!

I hope since it’s being crafted as a business phone they don’t exclude the ipod portion or the camera. That’d be a terrible trade-off.

I also hope these rumors aren’t coming from the iPhone-dual-camera-iChat guy.

Give me the 2nd gen iPod nano with a keypad and I’ll be happy.
