Well the keyboard cam in today and I am writing this email with it now. It took me about 30 minutes to get working. You must download the binary tarball at http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/#kbdd Then extract it, edit the btkbd.conf file, make the files executable, put the keyboard in discover mode then run btkbd. After that the keyboard should work. I am running this on Diablo. The script requires you to be root which is one drawback. Response seems pretty good. The "/" key is in a wierd place though. I can't comment on battery life yet. Let me knw if you have more questions.
