First, does anyone else have intermittent problems with their power button not powering the unit back up?
Also, the tablets are designed as "always on" devices, so you may not need to boot up very often.

The iGo keyboard requires a couple of unintuitive steps to get it going, but it works beautifully after that. You should be able to find instructions with a quick forum search; this has come up quite often.

Thanks for the quick replies.
I did acutually search the forums and came up with a post from tori 12-25-2007, 06:02 AM titled "The easy way to connect N800 to I go keyboard". I followed it step by step, but I ran into problems at step 13. I get to the point where it tries to pair with the device, I note the number, it goes through trying to pair with the device but then I get an timed out error. Any ideas? I am going to try to update the firmware, I don't know if that will affect this or not, but I hope it fixes my problem with the powerup.
I will keep you posted.
Thanks again.

Easy:
Mac OS: Boot. Machine looks for keyboard and tells you as much. tells you it found the keyboard and pops up a password and tells you to type it and hit return. You're done.

First, does anyone else have intermittent problems with their power button not powering the unit back up? I have had about a 50/50 sucess rate to this point. Is this common? Is it something to worry about?
Secondly, I bought the I-Go bluetooth keyboard as well. My problem is that I am unable to get it to sync with my N800. I can get it to see it, but when I try to sync, it times out. Has anyone else had problems? Any ideas as to how I should fix this?
Sorry I got wordy. I am a noob so please forgive me. Thanks.
