A Taiwanese web sites is reporting that Apple has three potential candidates for its next generation of iPhone.tw.apple.pro has a reputation for getting accurate scoops so the story is creating a bit of a frenzy in the geek community.
Their story, based on parts they have seen, predicts that one option for the iPhone 5 will have some kind of slide out keyboard.

We can hardly wait.
