DIY External iPhone Keyboard

Hate the virtual keyboard on your iPhone? Well, whether you’re the type who loves the actual presence of real keys along with the tactile feedback it offers, soon after that DIY project ought to be your cup of tea. The setup will rely on a Robotech Bluetooth module that has been placed in a modified battery sleeve and subsequently hooked to an unlocked iPhone (or iPod Touch) which will, in turn, talk to the keyboard courtesy of its Bluetooth SPP profile. Of course, it isn’t as simple

and clear cut like that since a VNC server and other tricks are due, but all that is in the tutorial. Definitely not the cleanest solution out there, but at least it works.
