Attachable Keyboard for Xbox 360 Controller? |

Thanks to Forsaken77 from the X365 Forums!
A camera shot has surfaced that depicts a Microsoft Presentation shown on a screen. The interesting part is that the presentation shows a QWERTY styled keyboard that attached under the Xbox 360 controller like the kind you would find on two-way text phone.
Since details are running very slim on where this came from or rather who took it, we'll be updating this as soon as we get some more information. But for now, we'll be trying to get this darn thing translated in English.
Unless of course one of you want to translate into 50 other languages... be my guest :P
[Update]
Our Forum members got busy and got this out of the translation:

Looks cool, and good for short text messages. It's nice to finally see this site get some exclusive news headlines before other sites.
Hope to see some actual pictures soon.

Why the heck does it come with a keyboard? What is it for surfing the internet? I can't see typing a text message when you can send voice mails to people on your friends list.

It's obviously attachable. If you don't want it, don't get it. Simple concept really. |

^ I was thinking the same thing.... you must be able to lower the resolutuon to get better performance.. or it's really a dumb idea.. maybe it's to help with bandwidth but still 8fps is damn near pointless..

part of the translation is wrong. For the video camera it should read:
Videocamera
videocapture at 640x480 at 8 frames per second
still shots at 1.3 megapixels
resolution 8x better that eye toy
includes a microphone that conects to the CONTROLLER
incorporates chat and video messages on Live

8 frames / seccond isnt THATTT bad considering (in my opinion) a camera for an xbox isnt really going to be used all that much.

I think that it pulls 8fps at 640x480, so, if you lower the res, then the fps goes up. Kinda like on most video cameras. So, if you are sitting still then you can turn the resolution up to get better picture quality. And besides, MS probably realized that internet speeds will go up between the Xbox 360 and the 720 (lol). So, when you all get 28 Mbs downstream ADSL 2+ you can pull better frame rates.

That's just it. This is no longer just a gaming environment. Love the QWERTY though. I hate creating new accounts and stuff with just the controller. QWERTY should come standard if you ask me.

The QWERTY is there because Microsoft will ship blank discs and you'll have to program the game yourself.

I translated that spanish part thing on the pic up top. It was kind of hard to understand because they say stuff kind of backwards but it basicly says its going to be used for text messaging and (but i'm not positive about this part) be able to use the video camera to see the people your talking to through your tv
