If the PS3 works with a standard BT keyboard, this should work.

(BTW, VDVsx, here's another user looking forward to the release!)

I see an office prank tsunami forthcoming... :-)

would it also work as a keyboard for an S60 phone? there's an option to connect to BT-keyboards on it. would be cool for text messages.

It says it uses the Bluetooth HID profile and I cannot see the S60 phone not using it :)

it didn't work with xkbd-bthid when i tried some months ago; that's why i'm wondering. still, this could have been a problem with xkbd-bthid rather than with my phone. curious to see what we'll get here... ;)

I don't think xkbd-bthid has worked for anyone on a tablet.

xkbd-bthid was rather limited due to only supporting a subset of the BT HID specification; as I recall, it would work on Linux (which supported either that basic version, or the full version) but not on Windows (which only supported the full version). Since this works with Windows, I think it's fairly safe to assume it'll work with anything.

Guess we'll find out, though.

Oh, and Faheem: :p it worked for me, once, way back when... (OS2007)

Fair enough Benson :p

Hehe, I'll probably be able to replace my Sony Ericsson with this (the "remote control" feature of SE phones is proper hid :))

This doesn't work with the BT-keyboard app for S60 provided by Nokia:(, I don't know if exist other similar apps to connect bluetooth keyboards for S60 phones.

I too am really looking forward to a first release of this. I was intending to use my old 770 as a VNC or rdesktop client to control my multimedia living room computer, but this would be even better!
