Hi all, I am going to jump in here as well. I am looking for a bluetooth keyboard that is small enough to be really portable as I am going to be doing some travelling, but I want to be able to pair it with both my laptop and iPad. I would like something with the numpad so I can use JAWS with it as well as VoiceOver on my iPad/iPhone.
