RE: Source code?
My point is that driver development on Palm OS is absurd. You have to hack the OS to do it and PalmSource and PalmOne are ignorant of each others actions issues. I asked p1 for help several times and they shifted blame to PS who in turn shifted blame to p1. The 'tech experts' at p1 were especially bad and seemed to know less about the problems with OS 5 serial communication then I did. Obviously all of this was not only do-able , but it had been done before by companies such as stowaway (who obviously have much better pull with both p1 and palmsource then little ol' me). But as Sandisk knows, even being a big company doesn't always matter when it comes to getting p1 to help with the blackhole that is Palm OS driver development (the Sandisk wifi driver that was only available for the Zire71 becuase p1 would not help).
I generally love the quirky platform that is Palm OS - but come on! How about a reference driver or two? Anyways - p1 and PS seemed destined to shoot themselves in both feet.

Just wanted to say that I, too, got the BT keyboard for my T|T3. If you guys wanna read my opinions, you can go check out my review over at the Daily Gadget:

Ok, if you don't want to read it, I gave it a 3.5 out of 5 stars :-p. I had a small amount of lag and for some reason, after I capitalize something, it would go TyPe LiKe ThIs. It Is VeRy AnNoYiNg. :-p

I do find a keyboard useful say for chatting with an IM client so basically this BT keyboard would good only for offline use like typing letters and stuff.

Quote palmdoc88:
And neither can you use it while going online via Wifi since you are advised to switch off the BT when you use the Wifi SD card.

I'm sorry, but that's false. You can use the WiFi Card while using the BT keyboard. Although palmOne advises you to turn of BT when you use the WiFi SD card, I find that they just say that for battery conservation, and not for any real reason.

One of the key elements in the growth of Bluetooth devices in the coming years is the continuing development of mobile telephones
as portable audio devices, and the need to link these wirelessly to headphones.
