I wrote to them to ask and was told it will be compatible with the N9, but that it was unlikely to be available (in the EU) until later this year. No pricing info, but I think they mention somewhere else that it will be around $50.

Wow nice, I think I'll be getting this if it works well.
I like the fact that uses much lower power via NFC.
And it looks like it's designed very well....

Did they say it'll be available earlier elsewhere or is the EU the 1st market?
Can they be more specific than "later this year"? e.g. Q2, Q3, Q4 etc.

Thank-you!

The keyboard reminds me of the ZX Spectrum. Mushy. A folding keyboard with Cherry blues FTW.

I suppose there's no harm in me quoting their email:

Yes, we will make it N9 compatible, but it will
not be available in the market in EU before end 2012.

Hi all,

Spotted this new foldable keyboard (from Norway!) which uses NFC instead of BT to connect to a handset:

Could this be the perfect keyboard for the N9?

link appears dead.

Indeed. My vapometer moves up a notch.

There's no such thing as a NFC keyboard. Even if you could stay in range with the device, there's no protocol for such a device to use. NFC is for burst transmission and not for persistent device connectivity.

This device clearly just uses NFC to pair a bluetooth connection, which a common useage much like Nokia's own bluetooth speakers.

And since the N9 doesn't support bluetooth keyboard connections yet, this device is not a smart buy for an N9 owner.

I stand corrected.
