The iPad's virtual keyboard is good enough for quick emails, Twitter updates or short note-taking, but if you want to really utilize Pages and type out an entire document, mistakes can easily be made.

The iPhone doesn't feature a physical keyboard, and likely never will. However, one group of people are looking into creating a clip-on keyboard, which users could attach to their smart phone just like a Smart Cover. The accessory, called a "SmartKeyboard," is little more than a concept. However, as TUAW notes, it has potential.

A new jailbreak tweak called "MailKeyboardHide" allows iOS fans to easily hide or reveal the virtual keyboard in any iOS app. The tweak is currently available to download for free, and can be downloaded in Cydia via the BigBoss Repository.

Just in case you still believe (or know someone who does) that typing on an iPhone on-screen keyboard is any slower than on a physical one or using swype, here is something to set the record straight.

While viewed as a netbook alternative, one accessory manufacturer lets iPad owners "have their cake and eat it too."

What if the iPad keyboard was split into two?

iPhone OS 4.0, just like the iPad, supports external bluetooth keyboards. While it's already very useful (and super bulky), Apple added some little nice extras to it.
