Wow-Keys Keyboard Uses iPhone as Number Pad and More

I have seen some really interesting and cool keyboards over the years and this Wow-Keys keyboard is one of the coolest. This thing is a normal QWERTY keyboard on one side and where the number pad would normally be is an iPhone dock. You can also dock your iPod touch there too.

The dock will work with an app you can download that will turn the screen of your iPhone or touch into the number pad that the keyboard is lacking. The keyboard supports both Mac and PCs and has a button for changing between keyboard and iPhone mode.The keyboard measures 407 x 130 x 25mm.

The latest iPhone 5 rumor is that Apple is currently testing three prototype models of the iPhone 5, and the rumor comes from a Taiwan based website which has in the past published information about new Apple devices that have been true.

DirecTV's iPad, iPhone, Android apps will (NOT) have HBO Go streaming May 2nd (Update)

Just like the web versions of HBO Go and Max Go are accessible both through their own sites and various provider portals, DirecTV has announced it will include access to them in its own apps on iPad, iPhone and "select Android devices" at the same time native Go apps launch. There's no word on what restrictions may be placed on Android, if it's just Froyo or higher hardware with Flash accessibility, then that's one thing, but Netflix-style DRM tie ups could prove to be much more frustrating to our Game of  Thrones streaming plans.

Technology Geek

The announcement came from DirecTV's official Twitter account which indicated the apps would progress beyond mere remote control and DVR scheduling on the same May 2nd date previously teased in HBO's YouTube trailer -- we'll wait and see how long it takes to be integrated into similar apps from competitors like Comcast and Verizon FiOS.
