Logitech today announced a new Bluetooth Multi-Device Keyboard (K480) that doesn’t just make switching between devices easy, it also doubles as a stand for your iPhone or iPad. While Logitech has made similar keyboards previously that let you switch between connected devices, the new keyboard adds a “Easy-Switch dial” that makes it super easy to switch between three devices on the fly:
Now you can type a report on your computer and, with the flick of the Easy-Switch™ dial, respond to a message on your smartphone and type a tweet on your tablet. The universal keyboard can connect to three different Bluetooth wireless devices at once, whether you are using a Windows®, Mac® or Chrome OS™ computer, or an Android™ or iOS tablet or smartphone.
The keyboard is available now in the US and Europe for $50 in two color schemes (white & black). You can images of the two colors below and see more specs and order the keyboard now on Logitech’s site.

Actually looks pretty cool. Haven’t used Logitech in a while, so I wonder how comparable those island style keys are to the Apple keyboard that I use everyday.
shouldn’t ‘Continuity’ solve this issue?
My thoughts exactly when I was thinking about buying one. “Wait a minute … Continuity is coming so …”
What’s Continuity?
It is the feature that lets you continue what you are doing even if you switch between devices. Ex. You have a web page open in safari on mac, you start using your phone, you can continue viewing the same thing on your phone without doing anything.
HAHA! apple user’s privilege again! that windows & fandroid users can only ever dream of!

Handoff doesn’t hand off external keyboard.
Make it backlit and I’m sold.
