I can see benefits and drawbacks to this. It's nice to type without putting down the controller, but honestly, I'd prefer to switch, just so I could type on a normal keyboard. I'm a quick typist, so having to adapt to another keyboard, one which I only type with my thumbs no less, means a longer delay before getting back to the game. I don't like devices that require you to press small letter keys. I prefer a number pad, like cell phones contain, that have a schema for typing quickly by guessing the word you mean to type (which might sound iffy, but works well if implemented correctly).
Of course, I don't own an X-Box 360, nor use IM programs very often, so this doesn't really affect me.
That GC keyboard is a monstrosity, btw.
