Omnio isn’t the first company to come up with the idea of a keyboard that pulls double-duty as an iPhone dock. A number of companies have keyboards with a space to dock your iPhone so it can charge when it’s not in use, but the new Omnio WoWKeys looks sharper than the competition and comes in a smaller, more compact package.
The WoWKeys crams a laptop-style keyboard in to the left, and on the right is a dock where you slide in your iPhone 4 or iPhone 3GS to charge or use it while it’s docked.
The keyboard has built-in hotkeys that allow you to turn your iPhone into a remote control or multi-touch trackpad for your computer, or use your iPhone (and an app installed on it – one that’s not included with the keyboard) to control media keys or serve as the number-pad that you lose in order to get the space for your phone.
Pricing and availability haven’t been officially announced, but the keyboard is expected to run about $100 USD at retail and ship from Korea.
