I own it.  It doesn't work, at least 2.2.1 on my MyTouch 4G (and my G1, 
but...)

The problem is not with the hardware per se;  the keyboard driver in 
_android_ (not at the bluetooth layer) specifically omitted the key 
modifier concept, so ctrl, M-, alt just don't happen.

I've been hoping that the Android-as-USB-host stuff announced at the 
last IO would unscrew that problem, but haven't followed its progress much.
