I also tested that weird laser keyboard, but it requires some setup-configuration to work properly and AFAIK the config client is windows only. I have a thinkoutside BT HID profile keyboard and it works fine with my n800. I even have a nonstandard 'freedom' BT keyboard, but i saw that it can be added with some mucking about in xmodmap i think. A 'real' USB keyboard could be added, you need to flip the usb into host mode - which can be done in debug mode. The problem is it needs to be externally powered. The n800 does not have the USB power line connected - probably because it was designed as a client device. I would be interested in playing with emacs and org on an n800 as well, but without a keyboard, i just don't see it being any use. Tim.
