I always travel with a folding Bluetooth keyboard, but I know that there’s a few smaller-sized USB keyboards out on the market as well. I don’t use one with my mobile devices because my current solution works and I never thought to use one with a Nokia N800 or N810 Internet Tablet. Amazingly, it can be done, so if you’ve got an OS2008 device and a USB travel keyboard, you might want to pick up an inexpensive Female-Female USB adapter; I found one on-line for under $3. You’ll also need to install the free USB Control application on your Nokia and then make sure you define the right keyboard layout in the Control Panel of your Internet Tablet. There’s a video of all the “how-to magic” at the Internet Tablet School if you need the visuals. Great way to make use of an old USB keyboard, especially with the keyboard-less Nokia N800!
