Hi all,
I am after a bluetooth wireless keyboard for use with my android devices, I do a lot of typing and development work on the devices themselves and need something easier to use than the screen keyboard. I am looking at something like this http://www.dragonext.com/78-keys-mini-portable-bluetooth-wireless-keyboard-for-ipad-iphone-itouch-computer.html (http://www.dragonext.com/78-keys-mini-portable-bluetooth-wireless-keyboard-for-ipad-iphone-itouch-computer.html), just not sure of the quality. I have also considered an apple bluetooth keyboard but they are costly at $75AUD.
Anybody have any suggestions or experience?

There is the KBtalKing Pro (http://kbtalkingusa.com/kbtalking-pro-basic-info/) which should be coming out in a couple months but you probably don't want to spend that much since the Apple bluetooth keyboard is already costly for you. I think the Apple bluetooth keyboard is worth it though. I have one and it was the best keyboard I've had before I got a mechanical one.

Oh wow, that looks amazing, I have the KBTalking RACE as my main keyboard currently. That would be amazing but it is a bit large for what I am planning, I want to be able to carry it around with ease. I was thinking really hard about getting the apple gear, as there is also a wireless touch pad available which attaches to the wireless keyboard, this would result in a very natural input for my android devices. Touch decisions to be made, I might try a cheap Chinese Bluetooth board and if it doesn't work out, or when I can better afford it, I will get myself an apple board and touch pad combo.

Logitech has a new Bluetooth.

Unfortunately even more expensive than the apple board, though more products on the market the better the prices due to competition.
