I Would like to keep the cost down if possible. An other reason is
that this setup will work for different purposes(I have a few servo's
that might be used) . For those who might want to go that way I think
the easy way of doing this might be to still use a serial BT and use
Fanoush'f port of kbdd[1] as it allows serial BT keyboards. By using
this you don't need to much programming on the maemo side to generate
key events.

Using a N800 for doing is is perhaps somewhat over the top.
I dutch we call this "Schieten met een kanon op een mug" or translated
"Shooting with a gun on a mosquito" :p

Thanks for the feedback
