It connected to my IPhone 3gs(v4) the first time and it gives you a unique 4 digit pin on the phone's screen each time you pair so you don't have to remember the code. This keyboard is the perfect size (just longer than a dollar bill); any smaller and it would be too small and any larger it wouldn't be as portable. The keys are only slightly smaller than a regular keyboard which means you can place both hands on the keys with the j and f home keys (big hands could be a problem). It take a little practice because there is no shift key on the right side so touch typers must remember to shift with the left. Most of the special keys (;-::"?) are Fn keys not in their normal locations but all of the alpha and numeric are standard. The Keys lack the slant found on the standard keyboard which take a little getting up to speed so don't expect 80 wpm out of the box - it's a learning curve. Your techo friends will be green with envy.

Sweet little device I must say. Works exactly as you expect it to, but I was baffled the first few days of getting it because of Windows 7 Professional. After the first install and driver installation, Windows kept asking for a manufacturer provided "pairing" code. This is crazy because the device does not come with a code. Turns out the Windows prompt is simply misleading, all you have to do is make up a code, say, 0000, hit enter on your computer and then type the same code and hit enter on your bluetooth keyboard. Voila!
I should also add that the bluetooth dongle that comes with this device works with other bluetooth devices as well. I have already successfully hooked my 2 Nokia phones, 5800 & N900, and a Motorola wireless STEREO headset (yes A2DP) to the dongle and they all worked like a charm. Like some other reviewers have pointed out, typing and scrolling on this thing takes some getting used to. Recommended!
EDIT JAN 21, 2013, The device is still going strong. I used it with my Android Nexus 4 device while it was hooked to my HDTV. I can't believe how long this thing has served me.

Easy to setup after 4 digit type into iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 2G and iPad.
Play, pause and volume keys works fine for iOS device.
Good for windows XP note PC with USB Dongle, too.
Only and the biggest problem for me is command key missing.
I can not change English and other language input without it.
If you know how to do, please help me.
Anyway, over all impression is good.
Update: 2010/9/25
I found that Fn + T & Fn + Y can be used for language switch.
Now, problem is solved. I would recommend this to all.

Pretty cool device!
I was unsure this keyboard would work with the Android Charge phone, but thought I'd give it a try. The instructions that came with this device are really lousy. Read more

Bought it for my iPad and it worked well. However it does use batteries (and don't forget this isn't rechargeable) so it does deplete pretty quickly. Read more
