I have a hard time believing that Apple will ever put their name on a clunky external keyboard for a phone. The whole idea just screams "ugly" to my sense of aesthetics. Keep an extra gadget in your pocket just so you can type on your phone? (even worse: it'd have to clip on to the phone or something for access to the display). Ick.

All it has to be is a silent driver update. Then it would be an undocumented hack for someone with Google and a Bluetooth keyboard.

An undocumented hack is going to shoot the G1 in the head and make it DOA? I wasn't saying that this couldn't be done. I was saying that Apple would never do it, because it's an aesthetic disaster.

I won't comment on whether or not it's a disaster (MobileMe, anyone), but it's really just not that useful. There is not that much to do on your phone that would require a real keyboard. If you want a real keyboard, get an Eeepc instead of an iPhone.
