Wow. Cool.


But still it's proprietary since there's no open or established protocol for this type of peripheral device input.

What does that mean to us? Simple:

It means that this devices requires a hardware specific closed source binary drivers to function since no open protocol could be used by a third party to develop for us.

That means no automatic inclusion in the kernel, and no third parties writing a driver or app to make this work on platforms not directly supported by the keyboard maker.

That equals a bunch of sad N9 owners.
If you read the email they sent, they have said this will be made to work for the N9.

Meaning they are creating a method of this working on our N9's
