Throwaway NFC Keyboard Improves Productivity, Reduces Bank Balance

Japanese company Elecom is looking to change all that with a compact keyboard that exploits NFC for productivity. The silicon menace requires a companion app and is compatible with Android phones running Gingerbread (2.3.4) and up.

If the bundled case had you sold on the peripheral, you may want to reconsider. The retail price is a sizeable 18,690 yen (approximately $240), and what's worse, the battery is neither rechargeable nor replaceable, so you'll have to bin it after the stated six months to a year of life. Still interested? More here.

Well, looks a lot better than a touch-pad keyboard.

I guess it will be useful for some, but with a six month lifespan for 240 bucks hell no its not that important of an accessory and it has a terrible life/money spent ratio.

This is pretty cool because I'm really not keen on the concept of touch screens but the price is way too expensive for the normal person, especially considering it dies after six months or so.
