I know it says it's for ipad, I am wondering if it would work with the N7? Did anyone get a chance to try one of these?
It looks really good, not too small, also the case can be used as a sort of dock.
LE: for clarification, I know there is an android version too, but at the store I could pick this up, they only have the ipad version. I cannot order online at the moment. At least from the pictures the two versions seem very similar, and I was assuming they use the same BT connectivity technology.
My guess would be that its usable since its Bluetooth but the Android version would be more useful. Kind of like having a Mac vs PC keyboard on your computer. Some keys have odd symbols like the Apple command key (sometimes called the cloverleaf key) working like a control key or perhaps the Windows key. Placement of some keys will be different also. As someone who's used nothing but PC keyboards on Macs for decades I'm used to the differences but you might not like them.

You are right. I saw the key layout. Will wait with the keyboard... it's not that urgent anyway.
Wife has one, it works fine, but missing any Android-specific keys that might be on keyboards, I honestly don't know what they'd be though.. I assume things like home, back, search, media play/stop etc... None of that works. The "Opt" key launches stuff, but none of it particularly useful (Calculator etc).
But for typing etc, it works fine.

There's an android / windows version too...

Is there a way for me to use a regular PC Bluetooth keyboard for my TyTN II?
I have this keyboard that would really work well with the device.
It would prove to be a really cheap alternative to the keyboard that is made for the PDA's, plus, it would make alot of things alot easier.
I would assume you must make a program that can read the signals made by the keyboard, but is this possible?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Bluetooth is Bluetooth, no? What happens when you try to pair the two devices? That's a sweet idea, by the way.
I think this might interest you as well. There's a way to connect a BT mouse to WM devices. I found it on Handango.com, although, strangely, it doesn't show up if you select the AT&T Tilt as your device (but it does show up with any WM5 device).
BlueMouse
I'm going back to grad school soon, and am loving the prospect of carrying 3 small devices that (almost) do the same thing as one heavy laptop!
EDIT: Just read through this thread, and WM6 actually has native support for BT mice! Except for Microsoft's own BT mice... lol. However, I think BlueMouse supports them.
Have a look at this link for a cheap alternative :
http://www.amazon.com/Stowaway-Ultra-Slim-Bluetooth-Blackberry-Handhelds/dp/B0002OKCXE
Buy it while stocks last, I would have brought one but I live in the UK and shipping will be too expensive along with any other taxes they may want to add unless one of you guys can send me one.
Pairing
I have a Logitech bluetooth keyboard with an integrated touchpad. But when I try to pair them, my device just doesn't find the keyboard.
Although I find it amusing, I believe it is even slower using a bluetooth mouse for my phone, than actually using the touch function
But we are atleast on the right track.
For now, I use pocket controller for using my keyboard. But the downside is that it's slow and you need your device connected to the computer at all times.
Imagine using a regular bluetooth keyboard! What a dream ^^
Have you tried using a regular bluetooth keyboard that doesn't have an integrated touchpad? There could be something about that configuration that WM can't handle.

Assuming your PC BT keyboard supports the HID profile (it probably does), it should work with the Kaiser right out of the box, as the WM6 Bluetooth stack has HID drivers built-in.

Ok. Now my device actually finds the keyboard, but I can't connect it. When I click connect, it asks for a password. I enter nothing, and it continues to where I can select the purpose for the keyboard. When I press finish, my device tells me that the keyboard wants to connect to my phone. Now I need a password to continue, so therfore I enter a random password, like 1111. Then my device waits for a few minutes, and tells me the keyboard has failed connecting.
I have a DiNivo Edge keyboard, if it's any help
Any ideas?
Thx ^^
Maybe...
Maybe I need a specific code, or a way to make the keyoard agree to the connection.
Difficult
Try 0000 -- that's almost always the default password for BT devices.

Thank you, but I've already tried it. The keyboard behaves like a phone, making my phone waiting for the keyboard to input a password. Damn :\

Sorry this may seem stupid, but have you got the user maual for the keyboard? Or tried the manufacturers site if not? They may have a general config for it (PC and WM device association key will be the same).
Otherwise, look around the keyboard (and even in the battery compartment of the keyboard) for a four digit number to try.

No, it doesn't sound stupid Sometimes even the smartest person forgets the simpliest resolutions
But I have already tried that, except for the battery compartment. I have no idea how to open it, cause it's an internal rechargeable battery. But if there is an opening somewhere, I'll take a peek inside for a four digit number
Thanks!
Been looking ...
... everywhere on the net, but still haven't found a way to connect the keyboard :\ Anyone that has the DiNivo Edge keyboard, and could help me with this? It would be more than appreciated
Thank you!

Don't,
I've looked up the Logitech Dinvo Edge and it looks as if it comes with a proprietory BT USB dongle for PC connection and all setup is done through an install CD (for the PC).
Do you have the CD because the 4-digit pin may be on the setup instructions. Failing that, it may be best to go to your first post on this thread and edit the title to be a bit more specific such as ' Logitech Dinvo Edge BT KB, working anyone?'
Give it a go.

Now, two months later, I am still clueless about how to get this working. Anyone having better luck than me?
I think you should enter your own passcode first on your PDA, and quickly typing the passcode on your BT KBD while PDA is waiting..
I could connect with Apple BT, Microsoft BT kbd..
Hi Everyone... If you read any of my past posts, you will know I LOVE my Tilt... highyl reccomend it to anyone... My one biggest complaint is when it comes to gaming, the controls suck... I have wlays loved using my phone as a portable video games device using various emulators... All the way from my first Motorola MPX 200 .... I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to use a Wii Mote as a wireless gaming controller... Somehow connect it via bluetooth and use its buttons to control..
I have "cheated" already and done something simmilar using a Bluetooth Keyboard... Worked great, but lugging around a full sized keyboard is a bit much... I can keep a Wiimote in the car (as I already do for when I am at a friends)... The way the screen til on the phone is perfect.. So, basically I jsut need the wiimote to work like a keyboard, and use the Emulators software to map the buttons myself... Any suggestions? Would I need a driver or is there another route?? I am not worried about using the itnternal sensors or anything.. just basic up down left right a b button stuff... The "Cool" factor to get this working would over the top..
Of course, the phone is the Tilt.. I am still using the standard AT&T 6.0 Rom that came on the phone with all the usual tweaks... I use Pocket Nester to emulate the NES... Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
i dont know about the wiimote but if you want to try, activate bluetooth and search for devices, press 1 and 2 on the wiimote. if it asks for a code, try 0000.
otherwise you can buy this device http://zeemote.com/
I'm not sure about winmo, but I know for desktop there are a ton of ways to use the wii-mote, both wired and wirelessly. It would be really cool to use on on the tilt, but I think we would need to create drivers first.

Does anyone has tried an Apple magic trackpad on our TAB?
I have the Apple bluetooth keyboard working very good. I was thinking on a mouse (I would use it when remote controlling lots of window servers).
Thanks!
I also want to try trackpad.
I'm waiting for the iMac refresh and then I'll be picking up the top spec along with a trackpad. I'd be happy to give it a go but surely someone's already done it??
The shop where I bought my apple wireless keyboard allows people to try all the display models, and they are working devices, not just dummy (empty shell) models, so next time I go there I'll see if they have this trackpad and try to connect it.
I can reply to my own question. I'm trying now: it pairs but it works only with single touch. It doesnt even recognize the tap gesture, you nave to actually Press to click or to drag. So, apparently, no use. Maybe there is a different driver.

Wondering if anyone has successfully pair an Apple Wireless Keyboard with NC via bluetooth? I just ordered on on the cheap and now am nervous it may not work. Anyone?
Bluetooth work is still in development. Check the Dev forum for the bluetooth thread - the latest info I've seen shows a video of a NC paired with a BT keyboard and working quite well.

How much did you pay for it? I am also looking to get the apple wireless keyboard.
The bluetooth apple keyboard worked for me. The connection seemed fine but I didn't test the range.
Nooking with Encore
It should work. When you get to pairing, make sure you type a code into the keyboard (say, 1234) and then type the same thing into the text field that pops up on the NookColor and say OK. It should pair up from there.
Hope that makes sense!

nice. I've been searching for one under 60 bucks for weeks. The keyboard is the one product apple didn't completely cripple with their bull****.

Funny.
There's a guy on eBay selling refurb units. When all's said and done, you'll be paying about $50 ---- which is much better than $70 plus tax.
I got my Apple Wireless Keyboard today and I've successfully paired and connected it to my NC. I'm typing this update on it right now. This is the latest gen keyboard (the one that takes 2AA batteries).

Well I bought a slightly defective Apple Keyboard (the i key needs a hard press and I'll take it to the local Genius bar)
I've cross tested the keyboard on my laptop and it seems to me that the Bluetooth on the NC is a bit buggy.
I get a lot of repeat keeeeeeeeeys when I hit a single key. This appears to happen at random, but does not happen on the laptop.
If I backspace, it will often wipe entire sentences. Again, no such issue with the laptop.
There is also a bit of lag - keys entered take a moment to appear when entered.
I'm runnng CM7 stable version.
Any suggestions or comments?
i have both the 3 battery and 2 battery apple keyboards. The older 3 battery keyboard will connect and pair but won't type anything. the newer 2 battery ones work fine. connects and pairs but lets me type as well (no doubt the point)
so get the newer ones and you'll be fine.
Yep, I can type okay as have a two battery version, just these random bugs that I don't get with my laptop.
I'm thinking that its down to the Bluetooth software on the Nook.
Anyone else have a view?
so, do you have to be running CM7 to get bluetooth working?
also...would this keyboard work for any android device? I actually do a bit of typing on my phone (editing documents via dataviz docs to go), and as such I need my physical keyboard (still have d1). Then again, I could do my doc editing on the nook (i currently don't cause I hatehatehate onscreen keyboards)
it's not working on mine
i'm running CM 7 on my nook color and it was able to pair with the keyboard (apple). and said connected as HID device, yet i couldn't type anything. i tried using the bluetoothJP but it was unsuccessful. I read an article about updating the kernel, i did update the kernel and now my NC won't start at all.. any suggestion?

do you have the old 3 battery version or the newer 2 battery one. I'm guessing the 3 battery one. if you have the former it most likely won't work. my 3 battery won't work on cm7 but my newer one will. bt is still a bit buggy so maybe this will change once the new .32 kernel is stable. I haven't heard or seen of reports of the newer 2 battery ones not working. what version of cm7? 7.0.3 stable? I've run mine on 7.0.1 and 7.0.2
ahhhh.. no wonder... i dont know that there are two version of apple keyboard.... i guess i have to wait.. i run the 7.0.3

Please explain, i've tried it so many different ways and nothing still works.
I'm using a Rocksoul apple type BT keyboard (http://www.myrocksoul.com/bluetooth-keyboard-bk-series.html) I got from Fry's for $34, and it seems to be working fine (incidentally the RS website says they have an android version but I can't find it anywhere).
I assume that since it's designed for the ipad, it shares many of the pros/cons of that device. Here is my quick summary after using for several days:
* It pairs just fine as long as I typed the same access code on both the nook and keyboard (as instructed by a previous message).
* I have to turn off wifi when using BT.
* The biggest annoyance is when the screen times out, I lose BT access. The best way I've found to reconnect is to reboot my nook, which is a hassle in the middle of a meeting.
* I use Inkpad to type in the notes, and it is annoying when the onscreen keyboard pops up (have to touch the onscreen back key to make it disappear).
* I can't seem to find a way to have capslock stay on. So to type a word in all caps, I have to shift each character.
* The keyboard has many apple-specific keys that do not seem to work with the nook including: option, command, control, or all of the function keys.
* Surprisingly, the volume up/down key works.
* The arrow keys work, but not in the order I expected. I have to reorient myself when using (eg. "left" means "up")
Overall, for the price this is a good keyboard. I also invested in a $14 ipad stand that I use to prop up my nook and it works nicely (http://www.targus.com/au/product_details.asp?sku=AWE65US)
Using latest CM7 nightly 177.
I have the logitech bluetooth keyboard for ipad and have been using it for several months. BT and wifi work at the same time. I have not had the disconnect issues described with this kbd but I have my screen timeout set to 30 minutes. I am currently running cm7.1 nightly 160 as I was experienceing wifi disconnects frequently with newer nightlies. Not sure what the issue is but 160 is rock stable for me. The key mapping is the same for logitech kbd as for the apple kbd. Most of the function keys are screwy but all the regular keys and number keys work well. There is a problem with the caps key but not a major issue for me. The logitech kbd was $69.00 so a bit higher than most but this is a very solid kbd. The android model came out a few weeks after this one but I decided to stick with this one as it does it's job for me. I use this kbd in conjunction with usb host mode so I can use a logitech usb mouse as well. Overall, the combination works well.

I have my gamecube wavebird hooked up to my device and I was wondering if there was any way anyone knew of to get some actual use out of it instead of it just being a novelty because in its current state to me that is all it is. The main joystick doesn't seem to work, all of the buttons seem to be functioning as the same input, some sort of double click. The dpad works fine and the cstick seems to function also. I could use a ps4 controller for things just as easily but I love the feel of wavebirds in my hands. I would much rather use it.
Still haven't been able to get the wavebird working correctly. Does anyone have any advice for me?
