The iTwinge de-touchs the touchscreen with physical keys
Though Gizmodo initially hailed Mechatronics' iTwinge as "The Stupidest iPhone Accessory Of All Time, Ever," Cult of Mac reports that demand is actually strong enough to proceed, albeit tentatively, with production:
"We've been overwhelmed by the amount of interest (Positive and negative) in the iTwinge," Michael Nykoluk, Partner in Mobile Mechatronics, told CoM by email. The company reports it will have "limited preproduction quantities available" the week of October 5th.
What is the iTwinge? It's a physical keyboard you slide over your iPhone, providing you physical buttons to type with.
We have a hard time believing this thing will succeed, and are curious to see what the response is come October. We'll keep you posted.
