seeing the symbian based N8 get working keyboard and mouse support, when for the longest time people have more or less fought nokia to do the same on maemo devices (mouse oddities on N8*0, keyboard ****up on N900) makes one wonder what nokia is up to.

just watched a vid about this via twitter, gotta say the n8 is looking better each day with the specs, i just hope the next maemo/meego device does all what n8 can do and more.

Awesome. I wish he had connected the HDMI though...

symbian devices can do a lot of things maemo devices can't and vice versa.

don't take it personal

Which in this particular case is borderline artificial (hw/sw) limitation.

# 2 HID host (i.e. support for Bluetooth keyboards and mice)

Fremantle comes with the bluetoothd input plugin installed but disabled through /etc/bluetooth/main.conf
...
Then go to the bluetooth section pair the keyboard like any other bluetooth device and connect it.

You'll need to complete some extra steps to get the layout working properly. See Fremantle Bluetooth Keyboard Layout.

Is this one of those subtle jabs I've heard about?

What has him being an iPhone user got to do with his understanding the issue here once again ? Take a pot shot if you want but make a point at least while you are at it. Its not as if ysss using an iPhone precludes him from having used a Maemo device as well and understanding the issue ?

Whats next - me having used windows (in work) precludes me from saying or having an understanding of Linux ?
