Re: bluetooth keyboard with iPhone and macbook pro
Thank you all for your responses and suggestions. The iogear multilink Bluetooth keyboard suggested by ioana sounds like a good buy. Is there any dedicated key to switch between divices? It will be helpful if you can explained the working of the feature a bit more. Thank you.

Re: bluetooth keyboard with iPhone and macbook pro
Until you get your keyboard, why not try out dragon dictate for your iphone. It's a little clunky to text, but there is an sms feature under the menu button. It works pretty fantastically, they should defenetly be charging for it. So, free it's a no-brainer.

Re: bluetooth keyboard with iPhone and macbook pro
Hi, you can pretty much use any bluetooth keyboard you want. Just keep in mind you can't have the keyboard hooked up to your phone and your Mac at the same time. hth Ricardo Walker rwalker...@gmail.com Twitter Skype: rwalker296 www.mobileaccess.org On Oct 20, 2011, at 3:23 PM, Venkatesh Potluri wrote: Hi listers.

Re: bluetooth keyboard with iPhone and macbook pro
ok. so if I use a 3rd party keyboard with the iPhone, will the key mapping be the same as how it is with other windows keyboards? I was also wondering, is there a way to send messages from my iPhone using my mac other than using the mac's bluetooth? Tnaks.

Re: bluetooth keyboard with iPhone and macbook pro
You may think the APple bluetooth keyboard is expensive; however, it is one of the better keyboards on the market and it will obviously work perfectly with the Mac and iOS devices. You can get some cheaper keyboards, but you may not find them to be nearly as satisfactory. On Oct 20, 2011, at 3:23 PM, Venkatesh Potluri wrote: Hi listers.

You would have to have the Mac's bluetooth simulate a keyboard, but I'm not sure if it'd be possible to make software to do it. - Original Message - From: Ricardo Walker rwalker...@gmail.com To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2011 3:37 PM Subject: Re: bluetooth keyboard with iPhone and macbook pro You completely lost me.
