9to5mac - iPhone OS 4 Bluetooth Keyboard Connection

[billboardnumber1]

One does not need to USE an APPLE bluetooth keyboard. An ordinary Microsoft bluetooth keyboard (i.e., the 6000) works just as well

[Jacob930321]

How do you connect it the first hand?

[obaidCarkey]

how do you send a text message with ever pressing send on the phone?

[PeticaW]

yes but unless I'm going mad you did not show us HOW TO CONNECT the DARN things together!! Not very helpful!!

[dylanfleck]

Can you use a mouse on your iphone? :P

[dylanfleck]

lol a keyboard with that small of a screen. Just use a ipad.

[cshov]

you listen to awful music....

[TNTfallof2010]

check out my video on how to use a bluetooth keyboard on a PC that doesnt have bluetooth on it :)

[alifero]

Can I do the same but with my macbook (2008-black model) ???

I would love to be able to use my computer keyboard on my iphone.

Thanks

@rwwn I got the Apple Bluetooth keyboard as soon as I bought my iPhone 4. I never had any trouble with it. I don't have a computer, so I do all my emails, homework etc on my iPhone 4, and I'm saying it works great and is definitely worth the money.

[RooftopViolinist]

@chimera15 make sure your keyboard is on an working, and especially that it is not paired to another device/computer etc. Bluetooth is designed to be only able to pair to one device at a time. If it is paired to your computer, you'll have to unpair it in your computer settings

[rwwn]

Hi there very nice video, thanks! I have many BAD reviews of the bluetooth keyboards not connecting to the Iphone 4. Are these reviews and warning old? If they are has Apple fixed these connection issues with the latest update? I do know they restricted many of the bluetooth modes but I was specifically wandering about this one? I have an iphone 4 and do not want to waste the money on one of these keyboards if it will not work.

[chimera15]

How do you set it up? Should it just be recognized in the bluetooth setting, or is there special software you have to add? It's not recognizing my keyboard.

[bixlord]

can you use dvorak keyboards?

[mikaelm11]

This is cool! Iove using the bt keyboard on my iPod. I'm going to use to take class notes. Thanks for the video!

[bob93219]

please help does this work with a ipod touch 3g

[Katilea69]

As this keyboard works with Macs also, do you know if it has mousekeys? and if you can use these to navigate up and down the icons in place of pressing on screen?

Shame keyboard doesn't fold, how big is the keyboard? just wondering if would fit on/in my wheelchair laptop/bag to access an iphone.

Thanks

[Driverclass1]

this sucks, i was looking forward to use the keyboard on my 3G. :( grrrrrrrr

iPhone 3G and 2nd-gen iPod Touch (2008)

The following features of iOS 4 are not available in these models as well as the 3rd-gen 8GB iPod Touch:

- Multitasking

- Rotation lock

- Custom wallpaper

- Bluetooth wireless keyboard support

[ulanulanaulananana]

@Driverclass1 Jailbreak and you good;)

[projectgadget]

Thanks for making the video, this is on my shopping list. I would like to see an apple created foldable version for travel. I remember using foldable keyboards for Compaq devices years ago and imagine we will see many vendors emerge.

[sendyoursmiles]

Is that dock. . .wireless (am i dreaming!). . or is it just that you just havent connected the cable yet?

[olliekill]

@sendyoursmiles sorry dude he hasn't connected it... but that would be awesome

[nickbouwhuis]

Why doesn't this work on the iPod touch 2g with iOS 4 GM?

[helipilot727]

FINALLY!!!!! I have been waiting for this for 2 years!

[b77w94]

Is it possible that Apple might include the iWork suite in iPhone OS 4? The reason I'm asking is because Apple have released an iPad version of iWork and the iPad has bluetooth keyboard functionality so they might try to do the same thing with the iPhone.

[iThibault96]

Does it work with the iPod Touch 2G ?

I'm now testing OS 4.0 Bèta 2 but it will not work on my iPod Touch...

[cubanyto]

COOL!!!

[lalouchzeta]

maybe you can help me, could you try pairing your iphone with a HID keyboard?

[fireman110695]

nice setup :)

[Loo1558]

Interesting. Thank-you for showing us. Will put Bluetooth keyboard on my wish list now.

[yashrg]

can you post a video of pairing the keyboard?

[letssurf]

I would like to know what stand that is too. Looks very nice.

[k1fry62]

What's the song at 2:05 please ?

[didierstouten]

Hello, I have the iPhone 4.0 Beta running on my iPhone 3G. Do you have any idea how to pair the keyboard and iPhone? Cause I can enable bluetooth and start searching for devices but that won't work.

[drgoldballzzmd1981]

Anyone know what kind of stand the MacBook is sitting on in this video????

[gizmolover28]

@drgoldballzzmd1981 the xstand ;D

[iTelefon1]

What is wrong with the sound?

[JKage91]

rly nice, thanks :D

[Willwillwritehiswill]

Does the bluetooth keyboard functionality work with any bluetooth keyboard or just mac keyboards?

[MJGizmos]

@Willwillwritehiswill Any.

[movieluv94]

@MJGizmos my logitech ps3 keyboard doesn't work.

[Chronos014]

There are tools on the cydia store that let you do this. You can even use a mouse!!

[puissantoine93]

How did you connect the keybord to the iPhone? By bluetooth? Is it only on the OS4 or does it work on latest OS? Like on the 3Gs?

[iAppTime]

@puissantoine93 It's via bluetooth on iPhone OS4.0

[JakeyRofl]

[JakeyRofl]

@iAppTime
