Ion launch the iType full QWERTY keyboard add-on for the iPhone

What is it with peripheral manufacturers turning perfectly portable devices into hulking behemoths with their (often unneeded) accessories?
Enter the iType, Ion's full size QWERTY iPhone add-on.
Still there's a use for this one I suppose. Laying your iPhone inside landscape wise, the iType doubles up as a charger and will be useful for those who Tweet or SMS a lot from the handset, or even use their iPhone to blog on.
