I ran across this http://www.mytouch3gaccessories.net/bluetooth-keyboard-b0056.html and wondered if any of you have tried it? I know at the bottom theirs a disclaimer that it doesn't work on 32b's but i figured i would ask around see if any of you have figured a way to get it working, or any other smaller bluetooth keyboard for that matter?
Scam
I will buy one and see if I can get it working. But I can't afford it right now. I'm waiting on a check from a guy in Nigeria who sent me an email asking me to help him out of a financial jam. Once I get the check I will buy everything on that website you linked to.
ive actually been looking at this same one for awhile now i and building a little somethingi am calling "mini mac" based from my itouch 2g 8gig and this is the one that ive looked everywhere and this has always been on top of my list... i think next checki will get it i think ive seen it a bit cheaper too.. well if i get it before u then i will update u on it and if u get it frist post it...... ooo and i plan on using this in my itouch computer, my mytouch, and ps3 slim

I can confirm you can easely connect ANY bluetooth keyboard to android (you need root, though.)
Tried it out with an Apple Wireless Keyboard.

Enjoying the Logitech Mediaboard Pro
Ive been using Logitech mediaboard pro
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/keyboards/keyboard/devices/3616
for a couple weeks on my Rogers Magic 32a Running CM6
the board is great, Keyboard and touch pad is fully functional out of the gate.
and the MENU button on the top of the board opens MENU
the only issues i have are:
1. a normal keyboard does not have the BACK button, (i changed the android config file so that ESC acts as BACK)
2. The ON Screen Keyboard still pops up when selecting a text box
Be Sure the ROM you are using has a HID Stack installed for bluetooth
most roms built off of cyanogen's roms have this.
If you are after something small and portable I can recommend a Rii Mini Bluetooth keyboard.
http://www.riiminikeyboards.com/entertainment.html
I use it for HTPC but paired it with an eeeTransformer as a test and got keyboard and mouse functionality instantly.
I have a logitech dinovo mini, the most expensive useless thing I've ever bought. It works with everything BT, but it's just not practical: You're happily texting away and then you have to use the touchscreen for something like changing screens, closing apps, there's always something the bt kb won't do or you just don't remeber which key does what.
I tried using it with my deceased N95, with my computer as a "media remote control" for when I'm watching movies... It's inside a drawer in my bedside table. Beautiful thing, though!

I ordered one from DealExtreme but be warned that it might take a month before you get it in hands
SKU 13760
MSI BGP100 Bluetooth Gamepad (1*AAA Battery Included)
$25.10
Of course, you could buy the same thing from eBay - for $35
If you get the $12 EMS shipping when ordering from DX you should get it quicker too, it's the free shipping that takes a couple of weeks. I ordered mine yesterday BTW.
Max # of connected Gamepads?
Hello,
What is the max number gamepads that the HD2 can handle at one time?
Also, I have a BT keyboard that works great. Anyone used the gamepad and a BT keyboard together for multiplayer gaming?
I am planning to purchase a gamepad, and possibly more than one... would like to know soon.
Thanks in advance!

There is an app that allows you to use one WM phone to control another and even use it as a joystick:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=634675
My current plan is to use an HP hw6925 as a joystick/keyboard for the HD2 (too bad I didn't find this software before I purchased a BT keyboard).
When I test the possibility of using 2 WM phones as joysticks for the HD2 I'll decide on still getting 1/2 gamepads.
Anyone got their pad yet?
I'm still waiting for mine ...

What im really after is a competitor to the MSI BGP100... i have one and think it could/should be so much better! Surely there is someone else out there who makes these products?
Ive got one of the MSI pads, Waste of money. 6 buttons with only 4 usuable!

Be very cautions with deal extreme.
I've ordered mine in the beginning of February because they said the item was in stock. "Item in stock" remained at the item's description until now and even after I tried to contact them since last week with no answer, the item's description changed today to "temporary stock shortage".
I'm going to try to buy it somewhere else because I won't wait so much time at dealextreme.

DX has always been a sketchy company from the start. Good luck!
I've just become the proud owner of an Elgato EyeTV DVB-TV tuner.
I've been looking for a DVB-T tuner that works on a tablet for ages, tried to get one working on my Advent vega, wrecked my linux install on my laptop trying to generate the necessary files, so gave up on that one. Tried to get a tuner for my Sony Tablet S that was promoted in Japan for that tablet, I could'nt source one - very frustrating hunt.
Then I saw a post on here that mentioned the Elgato - did a search on Amazon and ordered it immediately, 4 days later I was watching tv on my Nexus 10 (also my Nexus 7 and my Note 2 - so a 3 way win for me).
The dongle is absolutely tiny, just a bit larger than a postage stamp and plugs in directly to the USB port on the N10.
It comes with a telescopic aerial which gets me all the freeview channels, even in the middle of my living room which is way better then my 7" portable that does not get any channels anywhere in my house !
For situations that require it there is also a cabled magmount aerial included, I've not needed this yet, but tried it in my house and got the same result as with the telescopic.
It also comes with an adapter that allows use with a laptop/PC/Mac so I suppose that makes it a 4 way win for me really.
The software is downloaded as an APK from the market for the Android devices, and is downloaded from Elgato's website for PC/Mac use.
The APK installed painlessly and when fired up, tuned in all the Freeview stations without any problems. Although the software is pretty basic, it does what's needed very well and I can't complain at all.
All in all a very pleasant experience, and I can wholeheartedly recommend this little beauty to anyone wanting TV on the go.
Nice find, been wanting something like this for ages. Can you please post a link to the exact item on amazon and also the play store software?

I couldn't find the device on the US store, so here's the UK store link so you can have a look at the device. If you are able to find one, make sure it's the "micro" version with a micro usb, there is an Apple version that looks identical except for the iPod type connector.
I forgot to mention in my original post that this device is only slightly larger than a postage stamp, tiny and very light.

You did not find it in the US store because it will not work in the US it only works in Europe and some other countries. Check the Elgato web site for specifics.

for those like me who wanted to get the chromecast today from the play store (https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=chromecast) only to find out that they are "out of inventory," hope is not lost. it's available on amazon too. if you search amazon for chromecast, at least for now, you get nothing (at least for now). it IS on amazon, just not available in the search results yet.
here is the amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DR0PDNE/ref=redir_mdp_mobile?redirect=true&ref_=tv_srch_google
get it while it's hot!
Would be much nicer if it allowed for mirroring of the device on the TV
Some Best Buys have them on sale now. I called the one near me they said they would have them tomorrow morning.

Does anybody know if I can plug this into my A/V receiver's HDMI port instead of my TV, would rather hear the sound through my HT speakers and not my TV's..
Would the chromecast then turn on the receiver and switch to the correct input? THAT would be just AWESOME..!
And in general, the auto turn on and switching input is triggered by sending a video/audio from phone/tablet/PC to chromecast?
I just realized, the link here removed that part about being Mediacast compliant. Not sure why Google didn't make it's own device so that the Nexus can stream to TV's like they initially advertised.
Also this thing isn't an Apple TV, which I realized the more I read into this. The content has to be on the cloud, so already uploaded somewhere like on Netflix or Youtube or even your Google Play account in order to work. You can't just take a picture or video or song from your computer/tablet/phone and send it to the TV. It really doesn't do much other than turn your phone into a remote control to play Youtube videos and things like that. Which is also why it can't mirror or anything, since it's not necessarily connected to your phone/tablet, other than that initial request to open a specific URL.

I don't know, still looks like it's simply opening the URL of the website onto the TV. Then again, this is a cut version, I didn't really watch the full version so I'm not sure. I'll check it up in a while and get back to you.
I wonder if this could be ported to a cheap arm board? The Chromecast receiver would rock on a Raspberry Pi.

At this price, and if you guys wanted it next week, dont bother to try Amazon or Best Buy. Pay a few more bucks and get it on Play Store. It's available as of now. Just ordered mine. BestBuy is out of stock and store pick-up is not available, so is Amazon
Did anybody able to get Youtube displaying the ChromeCast? I'm running factory 4.3 with Youtube 4.5.17 and just dont see the icon at all - as with Google Music ...
how would you play local content from PC like movies thru chromecast?

Anyway its freaking awesome!! Watching top gear in crystal clear hd playing off google movies/tv. Used my galaxy nexus. Gonna try next with the n7
Edit: apparently it also shows on your lockscreen sort of like how music will show the pause/play options.

Hi. I asked Wonda mobile. They didn't have it but followed up and obtained one fo me. It was about $125.
It was shipped together with Mate 10. I should get it in about 5 days. Will let you know how it turns out.
Ah I could have asked them to send it with my phone when I ordered from them.

I'm still not completely convinced Wonda is sending me the official Envizion 360 Camera. Although the image of it they sent me looks a lot like it. However the associated box did not have the word Envizion
on it. Everything else looks like Huawei's ad for it. Maybe the model is indicated elsewhere on the box where I couldn't see. I'm inquiring about it. Hopefully everything works out!

I received phone and camera. The delivered camera is called the Huawei 360 Panoramic VR Camera. Model CV60. I looked it up on internet and the specs seem nearly the same as the Envizion 360 except that, from what I read, the Envizion is 30g and the CV60 model is 50g. Maybe that info was not correct or different materials used or they are truly different devices. All else, as far as I can tell, was the same including resolution and performance. Maybe the word Envizion was used when applying for patent in US. Also, I just tried it and it seems to work as shown in a youtube video about the Envizion.
So it seems like it is the same or equivalent. Regardless, I'm fine with this. If anyone knows more please feel free to chime in!
PS. I haven't had a chance to play with the Mate 10, but, one thing for sure, the camera does a nicer job than Mate 9 in lower light. Also like running navigation from fps. A nice touch! (no pun intended...)
So Wonda Mobile sell the camera as an optional add on when you buy a Mate 10 but they also sell it separately if you ask them. £109 plus DHL shipping.
Anywhere in Europe that also sells it?

I pre-ordered mine and received that camera as a bundle package. Currently trying to sell that locally as it's no use to me, my recording skills are so poor that I rarely record anything. As I 've seem some Polish re-sellers have that camera in offer.

Its really a nice attachment. Have enjoyed using it.

Sorry for the hijack. This is driving me nuts though.
I received the Huawei 360 VR camera as part of a bundle with the Mate 10 today (Vodafone Australia).
I cannot get it to work though, and I'm not sure if it is the camera, or the fact that the rom upgraded once I hit wifi.
When plugged in, the camera light comes on for a few seconds. Nothing shows up in the camera app though.
ALP-L09 Phone running rom v8.0.0.128 (C346).
Anyone else having this issue?
