I've spent a little time with the iGo Stowaway keyboard and the N800 and I'm wondering what settings I can change on the N800 when it pairs up to make it work a little better.
The shift key seems to be a toggle between Shift modes and the apostrophe key needs to be mashed a couple of times in order to register, and also seems to have a toggling behavior where it adds accents to certain characters.
Is there a list of settings on the N800 someone can point me to to tweak its behavior and make it more useful? It's annoying to type with right now.
There is probably a way to edit the details of this spec, but I haven't found it (read: remap some of the keys). Perhaps someone with more info can fill us in.
I hope this helps,
Craig...
BTW, I believe there is a OS2008 equivalent, just don't remember what it is called.

Yes, I'm running OS2008, and I've selected it as a Generic keyboard.

I bought a second iGo kbd (for $30 at Amazon) and it works just fine.
