Described as being a tactile keyboard for the iPhone. The iTwinge slips over the iPhone and allows those of us with clumsy digits to tap away merrily on our very own iTwinge QWERTY keyboard with BUTTONS!

For a long time I’ve been a pirate. Yes, I’ll admit to not buying music legally. The thing is, buying music from a physical store is a tiresome process. You’ve got to get in your car, fight the crowds in the mall and then once you actually get into the store you’re left having to [...]

What’s this, you cheeky devil! The BlackBerry Storm 2.
So apparently there’s a leek in Blackberry’s engineering department, and some of their soon to be ex-employees are either toying with the greatest viral marketing lures (nosiness and smugness) or have gone and done the unthinkable and just let the old cat out of the bag.
