I personally use a logitech wireless keyboard (non-blue tooth). I plug in the transceiver to the N800 and it works without any extra power. The keyboard has its own batteries. Others have reported success with small USB keyboards. Tim> I would be interested in playing with emacs and org on an n800 as Tim> well, but without a keyboard, i just don't see it being any use. It is very useful for remember, even with the virtual keyboard, and to browse files. It is better, IMO, than its own file editors. Tim> Tim. -- -- Daniel M.
