I search forum and couldn't find anything relevant so here goes.

Although I bought a nano keyboard, it's still quite big. The Logitech DiNovo-mini is pretty expensive, and there aren't enough people around with one to get an informed opinion about it.

Anyway, a much cheaper and more interesting solution presents itself: using the xbox 360 chatpad. It's been hacked to work with a PSP, so I was wondering how much effort would be required to work with the N800 or 770*.

chatpads are available on ebay for very reasonable prices!


* I don't want to be rude to n810 owners, but you've got a keyboard already so be happy. Anyway, my zaurus has a nicer form factor, so there
