The successor to one of the most popular Android handsets to date carries a burden of expectation almost as sizable as its 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus screen.

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.

Technology Geek
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.
