2.4G wireless mini keyboard and android? - Hero CDMA General

I just saw this keyboard mentioned as a good keyboard for an HTPC. But I'm wondering if anyone believes it will work with an android phone w/o a physical keyboard, like the Hero
http://www.tomtop.com/24g-wireless-mini-keyboard-with-touchpad-black-c709b_p10332.html
It connects via wireless 2.4g, and it does support linux:
System requirement:
-Windows 2000
-Windows XP
-Windows Vista ,windows CE,windows 7
-Linux(Debian-3.1,Redhat-9.0 Ubuntu-8.10 Fedora-7.0 tested)
Just an out-of-the-box idea, or fantasy, whatever you wanna call it.

I think we would have better chances if it were bluetooth.

I dunno but I'm thinking about buying one of these for my pc but I would definitely try it with my hero.

printing prombles

hi. i have connect my blackstone with a usb to the printer but is not working. what i have to do?
to connect to usb devices require 2
things
1. the pda have to support usbHost pretty sure that blackstone don't
2. all the correct windows mobile drivers for the printer very very few printer makers make windows mobile drivers at all
Ok, not what you've asked for but there are some solutions for printing from Windows Mobile devices, mostly these are not free, and as having no need to print I have not tested these:
Westtek Jetprint $9.95

Bachmann Software Printboy $49.99
http://www.bachmannsoftware.com/pbce.htm
PrintPocketCE $39.95 ("Prints in Color" lol)

Cortado Print & Fax (Ca$h per month I think)

Most of these seem to have been designed for versions of WM prior to WM5, so actually I think that means PPC2003 !?!
Also keep an eye out for these guys, http://printershare.com/mobile.sdf they have iphone & Android versions (bit of a bandwagon jumping on there I think!), would assume WM version wouldn't be too far behind?
I thought our Touch HD comes with "Jetcet Print 5"
With that software you can print via WiFi or bluetooth.
What you need is a pure network printer or a PC which shares the printer you want to use.
Works like a charm on my Touch HD

universal as bluetooth keyboard mythtv xp media centre

Ok heres an idea which might not fly but here goes.
i was thinking of getting a wireless keyboard for my netbook then something said well for a small one your better off going with bluetooth and watched a video for logitech denovo mini bluetooth keyboard.
Then i thought my universal is about that size and so is the keyboard and hmm could i use the universal as a bluetooth keyboard maybe to control a mythtv front end.
its got to be easier than messing with lirc or using a full size keyboard.
maybe this would fly for media centre pcs
is it possible ?
answer it is

[Q] Bluetooth keyboard on froyo for slate computer

I recently bought an ExoPC (Windows 7 slate computer) which tied in very well with me getting my replacement HD2. I would like to use the HD2 (running froyo) as a bluetooth keyboard for my slate device so I can run certain applications at full screen. I have seen many applications that use wifi to hook up but nothing bluetooth. Wifi is no good as this device is used on the train/ tube/car so no wifi is available.
Any suggestions (sorry if this is in wrong area)
GRemote Pro.
I use it so I can control the PC I built into the dash of my truck in addition to the PC that I use as a DVR for my television. It can connect over both WiFi and Bluetooth.

Bluetooth mice on Windows 8

Hello,
I have Windows 8 Release preview installed on my tablet (Dell Latitude XT3). I previously had Consumer Preview installed on this one and on my previous tablet (HP 2740p).
Everything I have tried has had issues with my Bluetooth mouse. It will work for about 5 minutes then just disconnect. I have to turn the mouse or the Bluetooth off and back on for it to reconnect. If I go into device manager and turn off power saving for the Bluetooth module this no longer happens.
The mouse I use is the Dell PU705 Bluetooth travel mouse. I have no other Bluetooth mouse to try out. Does anyone else have any experience with Bluetooth mice on Windows 8?
I don know if Apple mice are universal but you can try them. Try Logitech mice, they are also good. (the suggestion of Apple mice is serious)
Oh, and Microsoft also makes their own mice, Im 100% sure those will work.
Sorry, did I read that correctly? By changing the power management options it works? If so whats the problem? You don't want to turn off the power saving options? Sorry but I'm not clear what the issue is, power saving or initial turn of with power saving on?
Sent from my HD2 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
I just want to know if someone here has used a Bluetooth mouse with their Windows 8 computer and if it's been fine or not. If there are other mice that don't have issues, I'll look into one of those.
I don't want to disable the power saving on the Bluetooth because it causes a very noticeable loss of battery life.
No one has used a bluetooth mouse on their Windows 8 PC?

If Windows 8 is running in a VM then your test doesn't give any useful information because it is Mac OS handling the mouse, not Windows 8.

I have a Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse, it is working well right from the installation
I had no problems with system sleeping and waking up the system with Mouse.
Options for power save for the mouse is off, I suspect because it is a desktop
The Arc Touch mouse is not Bluetooth, it's just proprietary wireless.
Please, only comment if you have a Bluetooth mouse and not running Windows 8 in a VM, all other mice are irrelevant.
