[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] External Keyboard

[From: Karoliina T. Salminen]

Hi,

Just a quick note: I have seen by my own eyes bluetooth keyboard
running with N770 and it works fine. However, the problem currently is 
the input method (virtual keyboard) which
pops up when you tap some input field. If that does not bother you, the
external keyboard is usable without modifications allthough is currently 
unsupported.

Best Regards,
Karoliina
