Hello

Would it be possible to get a driver for a PDA that would allow it to utilise a full size desktop bluetooth keyboard? These keyboards are very cheap now. It would be great to get one bluetooth for home, and one for work. I would never use a keyboard while travelling.

I cannot see why it could not be done if the drivers were available. If someone knows of this type of setup, would be great to find out about it.

Thanks
David

My understanding is that the Bluetooth "HID service" Stowaway has created for their keyboard will work for any keyboard. In press releases it sounded like they were giving away this bit of development to the community at large.

You can find the installer for their driver at http://www.ThinkOutside.com.

Try it out if you've already got a BT keyboard, but I wouldn't suggest buying one until you're sure.

Thanks heaps Hamish

I will try it as soon as I can find a working bluetooth keyboard to try it with. I hope I can find a shop that has one set up, or will allow me to try before I buy.

Thanks again
David
