Anyone that knows me knows I'm enamored by the Palm folding keyboard.

This YouTube video shows Xinming's BT appliance that when connected to
a Palm keyboard, gives it BT.

Xinming and I have written a few times. He generously gifted me a
CH582F motherboard and battery for me to attempt to embed within the
confines of the keyboard, eliminating the need to connect it as an
external appliance, making it self-contained. If I can figure that
out, it may solve and sidestep the connection problems for those
folding keyboard models that have the prohibitively small connection
pads.

It's not too hard to imagine carrying my 2100 and Palm BT keyboard as
my portable office setup. That's a huge cool factor, IMHO.
