Keyboards are just getting better not just in the ergonomic aspects, but also the bells and whistles that come with them. So far, we’ve seen keyboards with a LCD screen, a USB speaker, a cooling fan, and even a motor that can slowly rotate itself to adapt your typing style. It shouldn’t be a surprise when someone decides to throw in an iPod / iPhone dock.

The iConnect Media Keyboard from iHome has a prominent display of slightly elevated dock. It comes with 3 inserts to fit everything from iPod nano 1G to iPhone 3G (oddly, iPhone 2G is left out). The play button is below the dock, and we have no idea why it isn’t together with the illuminated touch-sensitive media keys on top of the keyboard. The volume control section can also detect finger swipe. That’s kinda cool. You will also find a rubberized wrist rest as well as a rotating 2-port USB hub. Oddly, flipping through the manual reveals an auxiliary power connector which iHome explicitly warns users must connect the supplied AC adapter to use the “Works for iPhone” keyboard. At MSRP of $149.99, most of keyboard revenue may go into Apple tax department.
