Tue, 31 Jul 2007 16:49:56 MSD

It seems like everyone wants their device to look and act like an iPhone, as opposed to just getting an iPhone. At least in the US. Some clever folks in Brazil have written a utility for the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet that mimics the on-screen keyboard of the Apple iPhone.
