We have just exclusively received a photo of an unnamed Samsung device complete with sliding QWERTY keyboard that’s headed to AT&T in the coming months. While we don’t have much to go on, the device will sport the four-button Android layout as opposed to Samsung’s typical three-button layout at AT&T’s request, and the QWERTY keyboard even reflects that.

TypeTop Bluetooth Mini Keyboard Case for iPhone 4, Price 46$

If you really want to add the physical keyboard to your iPhone, now you can choose between several solutions. One such keyboard-case we spotted recently is called TypeTop Bluetooth Mini Keyboard Case and it’s readily available from UK’s MobileFun. Unlike some other solutions, this one comes with a flip-out stand at the back making for the notebook-like experience. Moreover, there are screen protectors included in the package as well as a battery that should allow you to type for up to 100 hours.

The TypeTop Bluetooth mini keyboard case is the latest iPhone innovation. By combining a tough koskin flip case with a full QWERTY keyboard, you can turn your iPhone 4 into a mobile office and multimedia powerhouse, all while protecting it from scratches and minor impacts. The case has an integrated stand for holding it at a convenient angle for typing or watching movies, which is secured to the back of the case by a magnet when not in use. It also features a magnetic fastener, so opening and closing the case is a breeze.

The keyboard itself is available in QWERTY (English), QWERTZ (German) and AZERTY (French) versions, each of which could be yours for 29.95 GBP, which is about $46.
