Official PSP keyboard coming

Jan 8, 2008

It's only taken Sony three years to realise that it takes three years to type anything on PSP. So it's finally gone and unveiled a keyboard for the portable.

Sony offered no pictures or descriptions as to what it will look like, but we expect it'll have lots of buttons with letters on them. But that's only a guess.

Hopefully it'll be better than previous attempts by third parties to make a decent portable keyboard, which mostly turned out flimsy, cheap and awkward to use.

"We're looking at several designs, but can't tell you anything more specific," a Sony rep told GameSpot. They must be looking at several thousand designs, because Sony says it won't be out until mid-2009.

How long does it take to make a mini keyboard?
