Between yesterday’s expanding iPad keyboard case and this smaller collapsing alternative for smartphones, Elecom seems to have its sights on conquering the portable Bluetooth keyboard market. But victory will depend on whether or not the Japanese company can price its products a little more affordably.
The sliding mechanism splits the keyboard in the middle so both halves can stack atop each other, while a folding cover doubles as a stand for smartphones in portrait or landscape orientations. But it works with any device that can connect to a Bluetooth keyboard, and with a fresh AAA battery you can expect to get about eight months use before needing a replacement. The TK-FBP049E is also available in your choice of white or black, but that option doesn’t even come close to justifying its £115 price tag.

Shut up and take my money.
£115 of it?
I used to have something similar in about 2000 which I used with my Compaq IPaq. It was made by Targus I think.
If it’s Japanese, it will, like the awesome (yet affordable) stuff in Muji, it will not only be brilliantly designed, but last a lot longer than products from other part of the world. And most importantly, just in time for the iPad mini. They will go very nicely together, although that space bar does look a bit thin!
(I’m assuming this is otherwise a full size keyboard when expanded, IE, the key pitch is the same as on a desktop or laptop keyboard?)
