A keyboard that functions with the iPhone

Someone has succeeded to get a Palm keyboard to work with an iPhone.

To install a driver it will be necessary to jailbreak the device.
Beyond the anecdotic side of this exploit, one can ask whether in the future things will be made to attach to the iPhone. Knowing that they are pushing for more and more power, one could easily imagine that Apple one day will propose a dock, not for a laptop, but a dock for a iPhone in order to work with a larger screen and a keyboard.
After all, the PC market is now seeing the laptops, considered only few years ago as secondary machines, to take the lead from the office machines.
In this context, it is not absurd to imagine that our telephones will become our secondary machines (that already started) and that one one day, via some adaptation, we should be able to use them as complete computers.
While going even further, one returns from there to the dream of some that imagines that one can place a iPhone in a laptop and use it as an intelligent trackpad. It would then exceed this function to become the center of the machine.
