as soon as there is a wireless one i will spend $100 on an alpha grip for my computer so i can type standing, sitting, whatever.

Yes, it's just a rough prototype, but we are designing an AlphaGrip-enabled phone that will look like a slightly oversized smartphone (about 3.5" by 5") with a 5" screen (measured diagonally), 8 full- size multidirectional keys incorporated into the back surface, with a trackball and several 4-way buttons on the front surface which are revealed when the screen slides up.

but its kind of lousy looking

I can type 60wpm on my iPhone 3G's keyboard with no errors. If you'd like, I can show you a screeny over a PM.

How about posting a video of you typing on your iPhone? Here are the sentences that the Guinness Book of World Records' uses (or used to use) to judge texting speed, "The razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human." I believe the record is 41 seconds (or it used to be).

Hi, there.
I think it's a cool gadget. Wonder if it supports international characters...
Thanks

On our website you can download the Spanish Remap, which is an AutoHotKey program that lets you generate foreign characters. It's located on the Support/Remaps page.

im 14 and i type 112 wpm on the qwerty keyboard :]..random fact
What type of layout does the alpha grip use? i imagine it uses dvorak?

It uses what we call an Enhanced Qwerty letter layout which has about a 65% finger-letter correlation to the QWERTY keyboard. If you're a touch typist it allows you to seemlessly switch between typing on a Qwerty keyboard and an AlphaGrip (and back again) without a relearning lag time. Maximum typing speed on the current version of the AlphaGrip is probably 80 wpm. I average around 60 wpm.
