Ok back to the purpose of this post and that is this
The Freedom I-Connex Bluetooth Keyboard.
Whilst the Iphone 4 has a really nice touch keypad, there are times when fat fingered people like me need a decent sized keyboard for writing and this is exactly where the Freedom fits in.
The Freedom is a totally portable keyboard that folds in half and is carried in a leatherette pouch.
and as you can see from the image, it is only slightly larger than twice the Ipod touch it is pictured with.
In addition to the travel pouch, it also comes supplied with 2 AAA batteries which is a nice touch.
The keypad itself is made of durable plastic and when folded out and locked in place by a small slider switch, is nice and rigid and the keys have a lovely, tactile feel to them.
The keys are also a decent size and when depressed, give a nice feedback letting you know that you have pressed them. Even my bucket size hands had no problems using them!
The Freedom also comes with a device stand that stores neatly within the keyboard. This stand, when used on a flat surface, allows the device to sit at the correct viewing angle.
Connecting the Freedom to the Iphone is a breeze, just enter the 4 digit code that pops up when prompted to do so. The Iphone will subsequently remember the bluetooth setting and connect without prompting. A nice touch is that, when not in use, the Freedom will go into sleep mode thus conserving battery life.
Whilst I don't use this keyboard on a daily basis, it is a very handy addition for the times when I know I will be spending time writing with the Iphone and I can certainly see the benefits of owning one if you find yourself using your Iphone as a PDA regularly.
The Freedom was competitively priced at £49.95 at Apple Iphone 4 Bluetooth Keyboard so with Christmas coming up fast maybe it will make a good present for someone in your family.
