    Bluetooth Adaptor..will it work??
    « on: October 14, 2010, 09:08:18 AM »
    If I put a Belkin Bluetooth USB adaptor into my Toshiba Laptop, will it let me use my laptop as a Wireless keyboard and write to my iPhone with the latest v4 Software?

      Bluetooth wireless technology provides a way for mobile professionals to take advantage of using printers while on the road and helps them cut down on the amount of mobile gadgets they'll need to carry.

      Hmmm....Thanks Tubmanaxton...

      Keytapper, are you looking for a way to turn your laptop into a keyboard for your iPhone?

      Interesting concept that I can't imagine working. As far as I know, Apple has locked functionality with their Apple Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard.

        Yes, that's it in one. I was wanting to save the £50 by not bying an Apple Blutooth Keyboard.

        Thanks for you reply.  Pete.

        I've briefly looked into this a few weeks ago. Didn't get far.

        I've tried an Apple Keyboard with the iPhone. Amazing :P

        You may want to have a look at this cheaper option:

        The Camera Connection Kit is basically iPod to SD Card and iPod to USB.
        I've seen videos on Youtube of keyboards working using this method. Not sure if it's 100% legit though...
