If you were to actually look at the picture you could see that you can lay yout PSP flat as you type and your keybaord will lay flat aswell.
The idea of using the IR port for a cordless keyboard is the best bet. It wont interfere with gaming or the accessories we already have. A perfect solution as it wouldn't have to conform to the psp's design restrictions as well as being self powered so as not to drain power from the psp. It could take the form of a small foldup full function keyboard that would pack easily. The inclusion of a tracball as mouse device would be awesome. Im surprised there isn't one already. It's not that problematic. Similar hardware has been available for some time on PDA's. I will wait for this to be done right even though i badly want a keyboard now..

This isn't out yet because the current firmware doesn't have any kind of keyboard support. I'm sure slews of them made by all the people who make PSP accessories will pop up as soon as that's fixed. I can't wait on this, then I'll be able to do email on my PSP, which would just be wonderful for me. :-)
It is possible that sony is waiting to release the firmware for keyboard support until they have a model to sell. It is also possible that we wont see this or other peripherals released until Sony releases the PS3 which by all accounts will work in conjunction with the psp. Also any vendor manufacturing harware could also release the software to run it, but Sony is protective of such measures so im not sure about those logistics. I suppose its anybodys guess.. Sony should not wait to expand the capabilities of the psp or someone else will beat them to the punch.
That keyboard would be sooo pimp...I would love it... The main reason that i dont use the internet on my psp that much is because of the fact that it takes me 1 min to type like 5 words...
