Can I create custom keyboard in iPhone?

Question

Is it allowed to create a custom keyboard. Will apple approve my app if I used my own keyboard instead of using default one. howsoever I don't have button images, I guess I need to use same default keyboard images do so. Is there any image repository where I can get exact keypad button icon.

Thanks
