When the T-Mobile G1, the first phone running Google’s Android mobile platform, was released two months ago, its greatest asset — the physical QWERTY keyboard — also wound up being the devices greatest deficit. Having a physical keyboard is great, especially for e-mail — but being forced to open up the device every time you want to navigate to a new web page or perform a quick web search is a PITA.
We spied the Logitech G13 Gamepad when it was announced earlier today, and now Engadget Chinese has caught wind of something else that may be in store for us. The keyboard pictured above is apparently the G18, and we while we have almost no solid info on it, we can glean a few things, such as the apparent groupings of fast function keys on the left side of the board (some which seem to be numbered G11-G15), not to mention that tiny display at the center. We don’t know when we can expect this beast to arrive, but the G13 Gamepad is expected in January so fingers crossed.
