Nuu Mini-key turns iPhone 4 in QWERTY slider keyboard

Apple’s iPhone 4 gets Nuu Mini Key as a physical keypad. This will lead to smoothly entering the inputs. The Mini key phone will attract the users to a large extent. It provides users with access to a backlit physical keyboard that hooks up to the host iPhone 4 via the wonders of Bluetooth.

This phone will add a new chapter in the mobile industry which is again good for this sector. Apple might not have an iPhone 4 with sliding QWERTY keyboard, but that does not mean that special physical keyboard cannot create boom in the market. According to tech blog Engadget, which recently put a prototype Mini Key through its paces, the physical keys are somewhat cumbersome, while the Bluetooth cable connection and added battery drain are an associated annoyance.











While many iPhone 4 owners will find little interest in or use for the Mini-key, the accessory will be appealing to those who like their mobile devices to have "a slide out adjustable hinge" that, for the lack of a better description, transforms your iPhone into a flip phone replete with a physical keyboard, raised letter keys, and backlighting.

For now, this accessory - which has people either drooling or revolting depending on your iDevice preferences - doesn't really exist. The gadget unveiled at IFA in Berlin was simply a prototype.This iPhone 4 would be going up for sale before the end of the year and its price is expected to be $60 USD (around Rs. 2,700).
