    ION’s iType full-sized iPhone keyboard could be great, if it weren’t for Apple.

    We’re big fans of the idea of external keyboards for the iPhone around these parts, so I more than get where ION’s going with the nearly full-sized keyboard accessory they just launched.

    Video: The Archos 10S Netbook

    Archosfans has a fairly long video showing off the Archos 10S netbook, a $399 netbook. I honestl hadn’t heard much about it and Archos doesn’t sell much here.
