One of the things on my wish list for the PSP is a keyboard that will, of course, allow you to type and enter text directly on to the PSP. It looks like this wish may be granted with the PSP Keyboard from Logic 3, however, I am not sure that I will be waiting in line to get this particular version.
If you take a look at the mock up you will notice that the PSP Keyboard doubles as a screen protector which is kind of cool. The problem is that to accommodate the dual functionality, the size of the keyboard is very small. I am 6′4″ and have hands the size of someone 6′8″. I think that I will wait until someone comes out with a fold out keyboard like you see for many PDAs that is a bit bigger.
I would also like to see some type of Sony PSP Certified logo or something. The release date for the L3 PSP Keyboard is around the end of February but that date has slipped many times since it was first announced. Firmware updates are released often for the PSP and I would want to make sure that any keyboard I buy will work if the OS is updated.

this is the future for the psp mainly if you have access to the internet. this will make web browsing sooo much easier on the psp. (and it looks good too!)

It would seem posible to combine a clamshell case for the PSP with a keyboard inside the lid, giving both protection (for device, screen, and keyboard) and more space for abetter sized keyboard, perhaps similar to the excellent Psion 5 PDA keyboard.
With reasonable wordprocessor, spreadsheet, database, calculator and calender/diary apps, and sync software for Windows, Macs and Linux files (and maybe space for backup AA cells to allow use away from a power socket) the PSP would surely appeal to almost every niche market
