Not every cellphone comes with a nice QWERTY that you can type comfortably on it. But if you own a Blackberry, messaging or heavy typing for massive words, shouldn’t be a problem on the QWERTY. I’ve found myself pretty productive on the Blackberry’s QWERTY.
For those who don’t own a Blackberry, and your cellphone doesn’t come with a nice QWERTY, you can always pick up a Bluetooth 2.0 keyboard, to enhance your productivity for typing on your cellphone.
I-O Data has got a mini Bluetooth 2.0 QWERTY here, which its size is small and portable enough to let you bring along with your cellphone. Anytime, when you stop by at a coffee shop or at any place that you can lay the keyboard down, you can start using it to type all your lengthy messages.
The I-O Data Bluetooth 2.0 keyboard connects to your cellphone similar to any Bluetooth devices, just turn on the Bluetooth connectivity of your cellphone, and they’ll then be paired up and you can start using it to type all your words.
The price of this Bluetooth 2.0 keyboard isn’t cheap, which costs $153 and hits stores in Japan only, next month. It’s better to put the money towards a phone with full QWERTY. But the little difference is, although the I-O Data keyboard is small, but you will still be able to lay all your 10 fingers on it to type like a computer’s keyboard. Whereas a phone comes with QWERTY will only let you type with two thumbs, which shouldn’t be as speedy as typing with all your ten fingers.

Dell has rolled out their first zero-ink (Zink) printer, which is named Wasabi PZ310. By its name, you will surely first think of the green paste used in eating Japanese sushi.
The Wasabi PZ310 mobile printer allows any Bluetooth-enabled gadgets to send digital images to it for printing. The printer uses the ZINK technology which doesn’t require ink cartridges. What it needs is only some special paper that will form the images on it when activated by thermal. This special paper may be little costly for the time being as it is not that common yet in the market. But sooner or later its price shall go down.
The Dell Wasabi printer is able to produce prints in the size of 2 x 3 inch only, but they’re in scrapbook-quality. This mobile printer will be available in three colors, which black, pink, and blue and Dell has set the introductory price at $99, but it should go little higher when it hits the shelves. The entire printer measures only 4.8 x 2.8 x 0.9 inches, which should be pretty portable to bring along with digital camera.
