Matias Folding Keyboard
Not much needs be said about the Matias Folding Keyboard: it folds. It is not wireless, but USB. It will cost $60 when released next month. It weighs just under a pound.
It actually seems like a good time for another folding keyboard to show up, although it's funny that folding full-sized keyboards are now being sold as accessories for tiny laptops, which have taken the role once filled by PDAs.

The keyboard shown here which only folds in half seems downright primitive in comparison to the awesome palm keyboards that folded in fourths.
I still have my old palm folding keyboard in a box somewhere. I haven't used a palm in years but I don't have the heart to throw away such a lovely piece of tech. Hopefully someone will figure out a way to interface my iPhone with it.
The Palm keyboards were awesome.
I have them all and I love them.
They were actually made by a company called Think Outside, which was recently bought by another company called Mobility Electronics. They still sell them, but now they're Bluetooth and go for between $130 and $150 depending on the model.
