Pre external keyboard support?

Friday, 06 February 2009 Andrew Young

Sure, you're thinking that the built-in keyboard on the Pre will make it easier to type e-mails and text your friends. But what if you have really fat fingers? Or you need to hammer out a project summary in time for the meeting? Peripheral manufaturers are already expressing an interest in WebOS. Jason from PreCentral uses such a device, the Freedom Universal Keyboard, to type his class notes. In his post, Jason notes that Freedom Input has notified him that they are ready to go with webOS drivers, as long as the Palm Mojo SDK has the required bluetooth functionality. Expect to see a lot more peripherals appearing for the Pre in the coming weeks.

Yes, it would be wonderfull to use my iGo (Think Outside) Stowaway Ultra-Slim Bluetooth Keyboard.
It is a nice keyboard I used a lot with my former Palm TX and Palm T3.

Still waiting on this too. I miss the days where I could leave my laptop in the bag and just pull out my palm device and either take notes, email, projects, word documents, ect. If there was a keyboard now I would buy it today and save myself the money on getting a netbook to fill this spot.
