Hey guys, I have appreciated the video reviews posted here so I thought I would do one myself. This video review is for the New Trent Bluetooth Keyboard with touch pad. Here is a link to the video review
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tym3BoEhQwc&feature=youtube_gdata_player
And here is a link to the product on Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/New-Trent-Mul...36&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=new+trent+ishuffle
My full written review is there as well. In short, its the best wireless keyboard I have used. Definitely worth the asking price of $55.
This is my first YouTube video, so there is much room for improvement. I plan on continuing to review various android hardware and accessories should you wish to subscribe. Let me know if you have ideas!
Great video review. Is the back part / empty plastic really just for the stand or are they hiding components in there? It kind of reduces from it's portability. Do they make that part of its plastic removable?
Have you tried it with the nexus 10? If so, does it sit well like the galaxy?
Nice review. Too bad about the home key. Get a sleeve case. I'be seen them at "5 Below", if you have that store. And yeah, it's $5.
I have a Logitech k400 IR keyboard. Works well but connects through OTG cable. Bluetooth would be better.

No there are not any components in that area, no. I wanted a stand really bad though because I dont have a multi angle case though.
Yes, I used this with a nexus 10 for a while. It actually fits better than the note. I think its because of the grippy material, but it doesn't slide around as much as mine.

Thanks for the review, I don't tend to like small keyboards, but I might get that for my N10.
Yeah I worried I would struggle to type on it too, but I can nail out an email pretty quick. To out it in perspective, it is about as large as the tablet.

the one I looked at was for a Tablet but since your keyboard is the same size, I think It will work too.

I'm looking at the K400 Plus. It'll require the OTG cable as well, but that's no big deal.
Does the touch pad and 'buttons' work / simulate a 'tap'?

I was looking on the Asus specs page and noticed it had a hall sensor can this and will this be used like the iPad 2 and use cases to wake and sleep it. On the cover on Google play it didn't say anything about it and I assume this would be a feature they would want to embrace.

I found this case earlier today which does suggest that feature works http://www.amazon.com/rooCASE-Multi...2&keywords=roo+case+nexus+7#productPromotions
I pre-ordered one.
For users who seek additional protection, Nexus 7 has an optional protective smart cover. The smart cover is a tough, yet snug-fitting polymer case with a non-slip matte texture that protects Nexus 7 from bumps and scratches, and also provides additional grip. The case comes in six different colors to allow users to pick the one which best fits their lifestyle and allows Nexus 7 owners to travel with confidence.

From the Asus website... http://usa.asus.com/News/82X3sMt2tbBLf6xN/
I'm confused because they call it a "smart cover" but they don't say anything about that feature, which in my opinion is implied when you call it a "smart" cover.
Edit: Ignore

I came across this a few days ago. Its the HM5100 BT S Pen from Samsung. Im really interested in it but since it was only a parting gift for attendees at one of Samsung's events, its limited availability and I see it selling for almost $200 on ebay. I'm wondering...is its worth that much?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
It's also a Bluetooth mic and speaker, multipurpose. I can see it being valued at $200. Worth that much is debatable.
117$ shipped
Original Note 2 S-Pen costs 32 euro in the Netherlands, available in white and grey.
This is for 10.1..i have the normal s pen with eraser for note 10.1 which i try to use it on note 2..i found when drawing or write something, its off set a little bit..i even try original S pen 10.1 in its slot..same result..off set..not convinient when writing something..idk if S pen with bluetooth is same off set..it looks like s pen for note 2 is different

I've seen on other sites that Samsung will most likely release this pen for purchase as well. The good packaging also leads me to believe this might be true. I like the idea of the bigger pen, but the phone call feature seems kind of pointless. 130 seems a bit high though... Also seems like sort of a burden unless there is a case you can store it in as well, otherwise just another component to bring with you.
Speaking on the topic of pens!
I have a couple all-white, axiotron pens from using it with my ASUS EP121 tablet. I noticed that they work in a similar fashion as the SPen does but one thing that they do that the SPen does not is an erase feature! I can flip around the pen and use the other side to erase what I have drawn but the SPen can't do that... I tried to use the link to find the pens that I bought but the link is not working anymore!
Just a heads up, that there are pens out there that can give you an easy 'erase' feature if you're using the device for a lot of drawing/sketching.

For that amount of money it's NOT worth it to me.
I'd just get a regular BT headset and go hands free. and use the SPen built into my phone.
Just got one!
I just received mine! I'm currently in Europe, so I got it from Amazon Germany for about 55 Euros, which s still cheaper than the cheapest order possibility in the states.
Anyway, I bought it for my Note 10.1 3G, but since that has been borrowed by the GF, I just paired it with my Note 2. Paired fine, calls seem OK,
However, the S Pen part won't work on my Note 2 when my original S Pen is attached to the phone. Only when I remove my factory S Pen, then the BT S Pen works on the screen.
Anyone else have this problem? If yes, were you able to find a workaround?
I want to be able to use the BT S Pen without having to detach the original one - seems ridiculous that it won't work like this.
I want a nice sized keyboard to type on,and I don't want a piece of junk either. The only thing that concerns me,is that apparently the web browsing shortcut key does not work on the Nexus due to it using Chrome and not Browser (was this ever fixed,btw?).
Is there any other quality keyboards out there,other than the Apple keyboard?

One thing that's always kept me going back to logitech has been their kickass return policy, usually no questions asked, and a lot of times your not even required to send in the broken/defective unit. Something to think about.

If only they did such accessories with a Dvorak layout, I might be interested! Then again, since dvorak is optimised to alternate the side of the keyboard you type on as much as possible, it's pretty much perfect for typing with 2 thumbs - I'm actually faster typing on my on screen keyboard and having swiftkey correct all the mistakes than I am on a physical keyboard!

I have almost the same thing. It works fine, but it's not exactly fast to type. The buttons are far too close together to type normally and a bit too far apart to be fast for thumbs-only. Particularly reaching the right-thumb over the touch pad is a drag. But it is still better than using the on-screen keyboard in a terminal emulator. Having all the F-keys, arrows, edit keys, and immediate access to shift and alt and ctrl keys instead of always waiting for long-presses or diving in to alt keyboards is a big deal.
Minor issues: no page up page down keys. I wish the "/" didn't require the Fn key as it's used a lot in linux comands.
Unexpected bonus, it actually comes with a usb bluetooth dongle stowed in back. So you can use it on say headless servers with everything you need right in your pocket.

Got the Motorola Keyboard in today.
Pluses
1. Feels solid (well built) .
2. Love the retractable touchpad.
3. Touchpad is a nice size.
4. Connects with absolutely no problem and works great!!:good:
I already think this is going to be the one to go with! I will post more on battery life after our techs use it for a couple of days
You will need to adjust the pointer speed its a little to slow on the default settings
Has anyone seen any kind of tech, case, housing, or attachment that adds sound to both sides of the phone, similar to the HTC one? With such a gorgeous screen this phone is perfect for Netflix or movies but I hate having to Cup my hand around the bottom of the phone to improve the sound. Also not always in the mood for the complete isolation that earbuds enforce.

Yeah, or even just some sort of device that snaps onto the sides. And either redirects the sound of reproduces it. You're right tho, it's prolly a pretty small market. I just wish LG would have followed HTC in that respect. They seem to have put a lot of effort into the quality of the sound the phone is capable of handing but didn't care about how well it reproduces that sound.
