Just got in from work. Our Logitech rep stopped by the store today and let me in on a little info. Apparantly Logitech will be releaseing a Bluetooth Keyboard & Mouse combo in early September. Being geek that I am, my first question, was will the Bluetooth Adapter support additional devices such as Pocket PCs. She reponded with a confident "yes"! Apparantly Logitech knows of the Microsoft downfall and is making sure to get the word out.

She gave the model number MX900 and a quick serach on :google: reveals several foreign documents relating to such a bluetooth device but no pictures. If this really pans out :beer: here's to Logitech for beating out the competition. :way to go:

Yes their adapter is going to work with the PPC's, or yes, the keyboard and mouse will work with the PPC's?

Keyboard and mices use the HID profile, and there's no PPC that supports that profile yet, so my guess is that their adapter is going to support the serial protocol.

That is correct. Sorry for not being more clear.

Whoa. I hope it's a split keyboard to boot; and if the mouse is anything like the MX700 it would be a killer combo. :way to go:

Not sure about the keyboard, but she said the mouse would be the same as the mx700, just bluetooh instead. :way to go: is right

TDK is beta testing their new software for their adapter. Is going to support the HID profile. That means you can use their BT adapter with a PPC and with the MS BT keyboard and mouse.

I already own both,and I can't wait to get this updated software. :D
