PSP To Get A Keyboard

Sony is just on a roll, First the announce Skype for the PSP then a GPS unit and now a Keyboard. We’ve all seen third party keyboards for the PSP, but it now appears that Sony is crafting their own first-party keyboard. Gamespot reports that the design hasn’t been finalized yet (the image above is a well crafted fake), but that the keyboard should arrive in the middle of 2009.

This is great news for the hombrew community since creating homebrew apps that require input was painful since you were required to use the onscreen keyboard with the keypad and buttons. We might very well see an IRC client for the PSP that is actually usable.
