I want to enter data into a program on my 4705 that does not have a desktop counterpart. I will have to do alot of typing and wanted to know if I could use the BT wireless on my laptop to connect to my hp4705 via BT and enter things using my laptop keyboard. Any suggestions? Thanks :D

I still have to test it and will do soon, but you can try....

JavoEdge (http://www.javoedge.com/simtrix/productMtce/jsp/pda-products.jsp) has launched their own BT keyboard, and the driver is available for download. It uses standard HID profile so it should work. If it doesnt, well worth the try...

Yes, with the addition of Pocket Controller, or MS Remote Desktop. You can bring up a virtual copy of your PPC on your laptop and use it's mouse and keyboard. Doesn't have to be BT, it can be USB or WiFi too, but in either case you need an AS connection established. The front page today also has Laplink seemingly rebranding/remarketing the SOTI Pocket Controller product.

SOTI is a bit pricey but I highly recommend it.
