This doesn't sounds like something Apple would do, but what if the keyboard pad slid out from the side, the wide part, rather than down along the skinny part? The screen would have to orient itself sideways as well, which isn't unheard of, and certainly text on the horizontal is more helpful, while numbers/lists are more useful o nthe vertical. Like I said, I don't know if doing the whole portrait/landscape orientation magic is Apple's thing, but it would make sense for someone to try this, right?
