This almost microscopic-sized USB keyboard has to be the smallest I’ve ever seen.  At just 6.7″ X 2.9″, it is about the size of an open hand.  I can see this portable keyboard becoming a favorite of PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii gamers to eliminate having to use the video game controllers for inputting data.

Although I get the whole idea of making cell phones, notebook computers, and other new gadgets as small as possible, I’m wondering if this is really practical for business purposes?  My point is, if you’re going to use a keyboard this small, then why don’t you just type on your Blackberry or cell phone?

The super tiny keyboard has a retractable USB cord and 56 keys.  I found it at Brando for $25.

I just love iPod accessories, and it seems there is simply no end in sight to the number of new gadgets that are available for iPods and other MP3 players.

Check out these CTA Sportpod Digital Headphones with built-in iPod holders. One side of the iPod headphones is a holder for 1st generation iPods, and the other side works with the iPod Nano. What a great idea for getting those cords out of the way. I think this would be ideal for any fitness walker, or running enthusiast.

The iPod holder headphones feature padded ear pieces, an adjustable headband, and a cord in case you ever want to plug into your iPod or other MP3 player the old-fashioned way. Happy (cordless) listening!
