1. It’s a serial connected keyboard being echoed within a program.

2. It’s serial, note the cable, its not wireless.

3. Uhhh…. what?

4. That would be a serial keyboard, sir.

Seriously, don’t be an ass just for the sake of being an ass.
It’s just a serial keyboard with a bit of code to interpret keypresses. Not very hard to do, he’s not even having it do anything, it just prints to the screen within his own program.
If he got it running globally, then that would be something that you could question, but this is simple as hell.

FAKE.

1. how can external keyboard interface with iphone programs without custom kernel extensions/program developed for iphone?

2. hardware interfacing over bluetooth isn’t supported other than earpiece at the time

3. how do we know whether he’s using windows mobile device connected to his PC controlling his iphone?

4. what hardware was that custom wire on the iphone connected to?

debunk/answer-with-proof just one of these 4 points and you get my praise

I dont get annoyed by the touch screen keyboard enough to go through the trouble of making an external keyboard. Honestly i still type faster on the touch screen than any external full qwerty keyboard phone ive had so far.

Figures this would come out at the same time my friend and I started working on getting the palm folding keyboard working throughout the whole O/S. Hopefully this just works in console so we have something to do besides wire connections and load up the software.
