Elecom clamshell keyboard sports handy iPhone stand

The TK-FBP029E Series recalls the awesomely named (if you know "Star Wars" well enough) TK-421 case with flip-out keyboard from 2010.Elecom's latest Bluetooth keyboard is slightly larger than an iPhone and has a full English keyboard. It supports the iPhone 4 and iPod Touch. The cover also serves as a handy stand for your phone, and it's not always clipped to your handset.Available in black, pink, and white, the unit is priced at 7,350 yen ($95). There's a nearly identical version, the TK-GMFBP029BK, that's compatible with the PlayStation 3, as well as Windows and Mac.
Elecom also released the TK-FBI033 Series slide-out wireless Bluetooth keyboard, which snaps on to your iPhone 4 or 4S while leaving the dock connector and camera unobstructed.You simply swing out the keyboard when you want to type. It comes with a lithium ion battery that can run for about two weeks on a charge,laptop accessories is an assortment you will love,according to the company.Hewlett-Packard will pay $425,000 to settle a claim that it knowingly sold laptops with hazardous batteries that could overheat or catch fire, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced Monday.
HP had learned of about 22 incidents involving the batteries by September 2007, but it failed to report the problem until 10 months later, according to the Commission."In at least two of those incidents, the products caused injury to consumers. In at least one of those incidents, the consumer apparently went to the hospital," the Commission said in a settlement agreement with HP.The lithium-ion battery packs were shipped in new HP laptops or sold as accessories and spare parts. Because of the defect, they could overheat, posing fire and burn hazards, the Commission said.Soon after it reported the problem, HP and the Commission recalled about 32,000 lithium-ion battery packs.
Around the same time, Dell and Toshiba also recalled lithium-ion battery packs, which had been manufactured by Sony.In agreeing to the settlement, HP denied the batteries posed an unreasonable risk or that it had violated federal reporting requirements. With respect to the recall, it acted "in accordance with the CPSA and in its customers' best interests," HP said in the agreement.
