Hands-On With The SoloMatrix Spike Physical Keyboard for iPhone

You may have seen our previous coverage of the Spike Kickstart project from SoloMatrix which aims at giving your iPhone (4 or 4S) a physical keyboard like you can find on Blackberry phones. The concept is appealing to pretty much anyone who does a fair amount of typing – email and texting come to mind, but note-taking and other such activities are also legitimate reasons for wanting a faster way to input text.

I met the inventor of the Spike 1 and Spike 2 keyboards earlier today (Robert Solomon), and I was given the opportunity to test drive a prototype of the Spike 1, and look at a Spike 2 prototype. If you are not familiar with those models, the difference is that Spike 2 has a more convenient way to get rid of the keyboard, when not in use.
