Will any BT keyboard work with iPaq?

[andrewt]

I'm wondering if I can use a full-size BT keyboard wirelessly with my iPaq, or would I need some kind of special driver? Anybody try this at home?

No, not all BT keyboard will work with ipaq, these are the ones that work:

Thanks for the response, but I don't want a foldable or portable keyboard. I drive a big-ass truck and have plenty of room for a real keyboard. I'm wondering if something like Apple's wireless BT keyboard or something similar from Kensington or Logitech would work.

For $69, this would be a hard deal to beat, if it would work.

No, they do not work with the ipaq.

This seems like a marketing opportunity for somebody. Why would I pay $129 or $149 (or more) for a tiny, fold-up model, when a full-sized model can be had for less than half of that? Seems like somebody smarter than me could write up a driver that would enable one of the full-sized models to work. If anybody figures it out, let me know. I'll mail a check right away.
