iGo Stowaway and N800
 

I just got one of those iGo mini BT keyboard and I got a few questions:

1) How long will the battery last on the keyboard? Will it auto shutdown after a while or when I turn off the n800?

2) How long will the battery on the n800 last with low brightness setting, BT and Wifi on? I am planning to use the n800 to take note in lectures.

Dunno. Be using it pretty regularly since I received mine in the beginning of November and it hasn't shown any signs of slowing down yet. It's 3 minutes to auto-poweroff.

6-ish hours. It depends on actual usage, though.

Along those lines I heartily recommend the Sanyo Eneloop rechargeable. I've been using some for a few months on other things and it seems they hold their charge VERY well.

Does anyone know how to type "~" on n800 with stowaway bluetooth ultra slim keyboard?

Re: iGo Stowaway and N800
 

Make sure you have selected Generic 105 key keyboard under the Bluetooth Keyboard moption of the control panel. Then the ~ key is entered by pressing the green FN key and the " key.

Thanks a lot, it works！

...and what about num-lock? It sends something like a <mod2> signal, but the N800 doesn't seem to interpretate that as num-lock. BTW, this one is also sent via my new igo (thx Christmas :) )

Re: iGo Stowaway and N800
 

Yeah, numlock sends a 0x77 code (thx xev), but the n800 doesn't seem to act on it.

I suspect that this is because an OS really has no idea which codes need to be re-interpreted as 0-9, from one keyboard to the next. My iGo has them on "qwertyuiop", but another keyboard might have them in a traditional "box" numeric-keypad layout somewhere else.

Not sure if this is the kind of thing xmodmap can resolve(?).

...and the '£' symbol is not recognized, too. Has somebody any clue? Some conf file to hack? Currently I'm looking for setkeycodes...

Re: iGo Stowaway and N800
 

I have one of these (thanks Father Christmas!) and the PocketPC instructions state that it installs special drivers for PocketPC (it explicitly states that any HID drivers on PPC should be disabled for full functionality).

Something on the device (like the xmodmap idea) is probably the only way to go unless someone can hack the firmware on the iGo :(
