Do you think we could make applications for our keyboard phones (WM or Android) that will allow them to sync to the PC over bluetooth and use the phone as a keyboard?
why?
One of my laptops is Windows 7 and the handwriting recognition is great. Surely I would just use a bluetooh/USB keyboard if my "slate" didn't have a keyboard.
On a side note, Slate/Pads.... is there even a market? Have they answered a question nobody asked?
NueUSBKeyboard does this via usb. I've attached the latest version.
Run the exe on your device and follow the onscreen prompts and then run it from the start menu while plugged into any pc.

I don't think there is a market for them. They'd end up costing somewhere between a phone you carry everywhere with you and a Tablet PC (the convertible kind) that works as a laptop and is more high-end.
BUT, regardless of this, I'd love to be able to use my (currently a Fuze) as a portable keyboard for numerous devices. Like the HTPC I am building, or a slate PC I might carry with me one day.
(ON a side note - I am extremely worried for the next phone I got. I tried the Droid, the keyboard is a joke. I tried to sequel to the Touch Pro, and that keyboard is decent, but a little awkward with the placement of the backspace.
My Touch Pro, the original, now that is an amazing portable keyboard. I've come to depend on it. Will I be able to adjust to a new phone if the keyboard is not as good?!? Do you guys have any experience in this?)
Quick vid to show off HID profile support in 2.2 firmware builds, really enjoying it with TV Out, like having another laptop in the house (one with a 42inch screen mind). Need to sort out some remote desktop action, should be sweet with this setup!

...and here is another showing the Zeemote in action:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8y5Z_Xc7fI
EDIT: Although I believe any HID-based keyboard/mouse should work, here is an ongoing list of those confirmed by users to work -
- Palm 3245WW BT keyboard, fully working on JPH and JPK ROM's.
- The wireless (bluetooth) apple keyboard
- Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 fully working on JPH & JPK ROM's.
- Logitech Dinovo Working like a charm. Keyboard as well as the mouse.
- DealExtreme Mini Bluetooth keyboard
- SU-8W is a go!
- Logitech DiNovo EDGE
- KeySonic "Super Mini Keyboard" ACK-340BT works, including the touchpad
EDIT EDIT: Just so its here on the front page - WiiMotes still do not work despite the addition of HID support.
Is anybody else able to confirm that BT HID devices do not work with the JPU 2.2.1 firmware?
OMG so HID works on 2.2? Does that mean apple keyboards and crap will work (cause they seem to be easily available, not that i like them "that" much)
I really want a close to fullsize BT keyboard (or something which is very easy to type with (i wanna use it for uni), any recommendations?
Before I updated to 2.2 I confirmed that with another user who was using an Apple keyboard, so I'm assuming its all good. By its nature HID-supporting keyboards should all work with 2.2 builds.
Great news, thanks for sharing mate
If you try another keyboard post here and let us know how you get on.
WiiMote support would be awesome! Can somebody check that please...
That's so cool! Thanks for sharing. Does that BT keyboard you use include the stand for your phone?
@Zvenn: Yep, it has the stand.
I've not tried WiiMotes yet, but another user says they still don't work (I'm inclined to believe him, since the WiiMote Android software only works with a particular BT implementation - not Samsungs).
Name of keyboard?
Its an iGo Ultraslim Stowaway keyboard (Dell branded in this case because it was half the price of the iGo one, despite being made by them...not sure how that works, but was happy at the time). For my money its still the best ultraportable folding keyboard (its hinge mechanism is sheer genius), but sadly its been out of production a couple of years now. If you can get your hands on one somehow it really is great.
I have a Palm 3245WW BT keyboard, fully working on JPH and JPK ROM's.
Thanks for that, updated first post to include that info.
I impulse bought the microsoft bluetooth mobile keyboard 6000 (only cause managed to haggle it down by 20 bucks ).
It doesn't work on JM7 (as expected. It pairs but doesn't connect), but I will try on froyo soon. I want to wait for official froyo or at least the next stable release before updating though.
I really hope this keyboard is compatible cause i just spent 80AUD on it lol.
Hope it works! Can't see why not, providing its a HID device.
I was using the Apple key-board on the G1...
I know, I know...I hate Apple too, but on my G1 I was connecting the the Apple bluetooth keyboard. Nice piece of equipment - metal.
Although it was not an automatic connection, I had to manually start the drivers every time I want to use it. A bit of a pain, but it was working fine....and that on the G1!
I'll try it sometime in the next few days and report back on how I did it and if it even works with the Vibrant.
hy guys
i have a very old version of Freedom Universal bluetooth keyboard.
i don't found the model on the Freedom web site, but is similar of these: http://www.freedominput.com/technical-support/technical-support/technical-support.
mi have follow the android installation guide concerning the universal keyboard pro, i have make a paring of keyboard, i have download and install the drivers, but a message tell me that this driver are only for a universal keyboard pro and not for my model.
some time ago, with my iphone, the problem was that my keyboard had not a spp mode, and for me was impossible connect it.
now, my impression is that the problem is more simple because i can make a pair, i can install the drivers and these work fine! but..i see this message and the keyboard don't work...
i know that this is a very old keyboard..but before change it, i want to be sure that i can't use them with my device android.
and second question..if i must change it..some suggestion for the model? i don't like yet universal keyboard, becasue i think that is impossible that this product is not supported in after market.
sam213 Don't change the keyboard. It WILL work with froyo. I have had the freedom universal keyboard for a few years now and it works great with any device that supports HID. (Nokia n95, n900, my laptop, lego NXT). The drivers that freedom input make are for devices which don't natively support HID

The wireless (bluetooth) apple keyboard works great with the Samsung Galaxy S international (Froyo JPK). Absolutely no hassle. Turn on bluetooth, press a key on the keyboard and *bam* connected..
recently i follow the new lg optimus 2x that have a interesting function for me: this smartphone allow to connect it to the pc by cable usb or bluetooth, and later is possible work with my smartphone with pc keyboard, mouse and monitor..
this function is really fantastic for me because i think that is a good "bridge" between the hight potability of smartphone with a good experience of on tablet.
but at this moment, i will search some software that make the same function, or similar, on my galaxy s smartphone, always in android os.
can you help me you think that is possible found the apk application pf lg? or other software that work in the similar mode?
i'm waiting you reply.. thanks in advance guys!
