I love me some convergence!

If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a thousand times.  The thing I love about my iPhone most of all is the fact that it takes the place of more than once device.

Same for my Griffin Simplify dock/usb hub/card reader and same for my iHome iP99 clock radio/dock.

Here comes another potential device to add into the mix.

The iHome IH-K231MS iConnect Media Keyboard for Mac and the IH-K230MB iConnect Media Keyboard for PC.

Both keyboards allow you to dock your iPod or iPhone in the keyboard and also easily transfer music, photos, videos, applications and more with iTunes.

The built-in dock has a cover which slides flat on the keyboard when it’s not in use to maintain the keyboard’s “stylish and sleek design.”

Even better each keyboard has 2 rotating USB 2.0 ports for connecting digital cameras, printers, thumb drives, mice and etc.

Triple convergence score!  Keyboard, dock and USB hub!

Both keyboards are expected to be available in August.

    At first I though it was a keyboard for the iPhone and I got really excited. Then realized it is a keyboard with a iPhone dock connector on it, which still saves space. I could really do more mobile work with my iPhone if it had a better keyboard.
