The iPhone doesn’t feature a physical keyboard, and likely never will. However, one group of people are looking into creating a clip-on keyboard, which users could attach to their smart phone just like a Smart Cover. The accessory, called a “SmartKeyboard,” is little more than a concept. However, as TUAW notes, it has potential.

Jay-Z: President Obama Was Playing The Blueprint When I Called Him

‘I’ve been invited to the White House a couple of times,’ Hov tells the BBC. By Jayson Rodriguez Jay-Z Photo: Gareth Cattermole/ Getty Images Jay-Z has dropped Barack Obama’s name in his rhymes, and Obama referenced Jay’s lyrics when he dusted his shoulder off during a campaign appearance before he ascended to the White House. But it turns out the pair have more than just a passing appreciation for rhetorical flourishes. In an interview with Jonathan Ross airing on the BBC Friday (February 19), Jay-Z revealed that the president has invited the rapper to the White House a number of times since Obama’s inauguration. “I’ve been invited to the White House a couple of times,” Hov told Ross , although he said he hasn’t taken up the president on the offer just yet. “Hopefully we’ll keep him in for eight years, so I’ll have time to get there.” The Brooklyn MC was an avid supporter of Obama during the presidential campaign and referenced him in a series of lyrics, most notably for Young Jeezy’s hit “My President.” “Rosa Parks sat so Martin Luther could walk/ Martin Luther walked so Barack Obama could run/ Barack Obama ran so all the children could fly,” he raps on the track. “So I’mma spread my wings/ You could meet me in the sky.” “It’s just the progression. … You sat, you walked, you ran, you ran to fly,” Jay told MTV News about his Obama rhyme last year on the eve of the inauguration. “You know, just the progression and how far we’ve come as a nation. It feels good to say that, ’cause I never had that type of feeling to say ‘as a nation,’ like I was part of the American dream. And I believe a lot of people didn’t feel like a part of the American process for so long.” Although Obama has professed a love for an eclectic playlist of music that includes Stevie Wonder and Bob Dylan, he also said he is a fan of Jay-Z. Jay-Z confirmed Obama’s admiration when he told Ross the president was playing one of the rapper’s albums when answered a phone call from Hov. “Barack loves hip-hop,” Jay said. “When I called him he was playing [The] Blueprint in the gym.” Related Artists Jay-Z

Justin Timberlake, Timbaland Team Up For ‘Carry Out’ Video

Clip features French maids serving the duo chocolate cake and cherries. By Hillary Crosley Timbaland and Justin Timberlake in the video for “Carry Out” Photo: Interscope Records Super producer Timbaland teamed up with Justin Timberlake in the video for their duet “Carry Out,” released Friday (February 19) — and chocolate cake and cherries, not models, were the eye candy. Donning a white jacket and white baseball cap, Justin sang, “Take my order, ’cause your body’s like a carry-out/ Lemme work it to your body till it’s lights-out/ Turn me on now baby.” “Carry Out,” a southern term used for restaurants where customers primarily pick up their orders, is Timbaland’s third single from Shock Value II, which also features collaborations with Esthero, Drake , Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus, among others. This particular video showcases Timabland and Timberlake’s chemistry as they dance and rap while models dressed as waitresses and French maids take their orders. “I could feed you mama, you could feed me,” the pair chant during the second verse. The clip ends with each model biting into a piece of chocolate cake with a smile, proving that food is still the way to a man’s heart. Timbaland — who recently said that he’s done with hip-hop production — and Timberlake have a long history of collaborating together, most notably on Justin’s sophomore solo album, 2006’s FutureSex/LoveSounds where the duo played with Prince-like rhythms and electronica, culminating in the ubiquitous single “My Love” featuring T.I. Last month during the producer/rapper’s Hollywood show at the House of Blues , Timberlake joined his friend onstage for a performance of “Carry Out” along with “SexyBack” and “My Love.” Justin also recently showed his clothing line, William Rast, during New York Fashion Week. The singer described the collection as a bridge between music and fashion . “Well, I think since the beginning of rock and roll, people have wanted to dress like rock stars,” he told MTV News backstage at his label’s fashion show. “I still find old Mick Jagger jackets that I wish I could pull out of his closet or something. Of course, they wouldn’t fit me — very tight. I think we all want to dress like rock stars.” Related Artists Timbaland Justin Timberlake

Jay-Z Wants To Shoot Two More Videos From Blueprint 3

However, he says he probably will not film one for ‘Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour).’ By Shaheem Reid Jay-Z Photo: MTV News “On to the Next One” is Jay-Z ‘s current single, but that doesn’t mean he’s ready to move past his latest hit LP, The Blueprint 3. Hov said he’s thinking about two more videos from his opus. “I wanna shoot ‘Venus vs. Mars,’ ” he told MTV News last weekend in Dallas. “I may shoot two — I shot ‘Run This Town’ [and ‘D.O.A. (Death of Auto Tune)’] , I been shooting two at the same time. I’ll probably shoot ‘Venus’ and maybe ‘A Star Is Born.’ But I definitely wanna shoot ‘Venus’ — I got an amazing concept in my mind.” However, he said he doesn’t think he’ll shoot a clip for “Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour),” which he, Rihanna and members of U2 performed during MTV’s “Hope for Haiti Now” telethon. “I don’t think there will be a video,” he explained. “The number is ridiculous as far as the [money generated by the Hope For Haiti Now ] album . I’m excited about the whole effort we put into the telethon. I don’t think it’s entertainment, I think it’s a real thing. It’s helping real people through a real tough time, and we’ll just move on from there.” While out in Dallas for the NBA All-Star Game, Jay also told MTV News that he wasn’t sure when a new album is coming, but he did have one song for it already. “I don’t know,” he said. “I didn’t really start yet. I got a couple of scraps and I got a couple of ideas. I didn’t really go into the studio yet. I’ve been toying with ideas and direction and things like that. “I got one crazy record,” he added. “To be honest with you, it’s crazy. I got one and we’ll build from there. Whether it comes out this year or next year, it depends on the music and how it’s coming out. I don’t really have any dates.” Related Artists Jay-Z
