I can’t believe it! Goal achieved.

The Arteck is a new easily obtainable & affordable #Keyboard. It connects to every persistent #WindowsMobile #PocketPC device that I tested! It’s driverless and the layout is almost perfect for it’s size. It’s also backlit!

I’m confused though. It’s #Bluetooth LE 5.1 and should not work with these Bluetooth Classic 1.2 and 2.0 devices. Whats going on here?

Lets crack it open and take a look.

4 of my iPaqs and my Dell Axim X51V fanned out around the keyboard. In the middle of them sits the Arteck keyboard. It is hard plastic and black in color. It has white lettering for the keys. The Dell Axim has Word Mobile loaded up.

The Dell Axim X51V has Word Mobile loaded up and it reads: It’s a Keyboard Bonanza! And then proceeds to detail what we covered in the earlier posts.

Now the best for last! The Arteck HB030B #Bluetooth #Keyboard.

This is a cheap keyboard that you can still find new. It has a chiclet design, is backlit & doesn’t compromise much on the layout other than messing a bit with the Alt, Ctrl and Windows key button arrangement.

Amazingly this Bluetooth 5.1 keyboard connects to all of my iPaqs (111, 210, HX2495, HX2795b) & my #Dell Axim X51V using Passkey 1234!

4 of my iPaqs and my Dell Axim X51V lined up with the screens turned on. Below them sits the Arteck keyboard. It is hard plastic and black in color. It has white lettering on it’s chiclet style keys.

This is the #Ipad Kensington Key Folio Pro K39357US.

This #Bluetooth chiclet #Keyboard is fantastic! It is sleek, responsive and feels modern. It also has a decent layout and doesn’t forget the right shift key like the previous Key Folio.

Once again it effortlessly connected to all of my iPaqs (111, 210, HX2495, HX2795b) and surprisingly also connected to my #Dell Axim X51V using Passkey 1234!

First up is the Freedom Pro #Bluetooth #Keyboard.

This keyboard folds in half and has a slide out removable stand for your #PDA.

I didn’t like it. It was probably decent for the time but we can do much better these days.

Regardless, it easily connected to all of my iPaqs (111, 210, HX2495, HX2795b) and unfortunately refused to connect to any of my #Dell Axim X50 and X51 series.

It was already going to take some luck to get great compatibility with a random #Keyboard but I also had another goal; the #Bluetooth keyboard needed to run under the HID profile so no driver installation would be necessary.

The dream is to get a new keyboard, connect over Bluetooth and just start typing!

I began researching and securing a variety of keyboards to try & focused my testing on persistent #WindowsMobile 5.0+ devices

Those who have followed me for a while know my obsession with #RetroTech. After my #Palm TX bit the dust, I took the opportunity to jump into the world of #PocketPC.

I wrote several tutorials in the past and recently turned my focused to finding a new #Bluetooth #Keyboard that would be compatible with them. There were some made back when these devices were new but there had to be a better, current solution.

Wer sich in den 1990er und frühen 2000er-Jahren mit elektronischen Gadgets beschäftigt hat, hatte neben einem Pager vermutlich auch einen PDA. Insbesondere die Geräte der Marke #Palm erfreuten sich großer Beliebtheit und mit der IBM WorkPad-Serie gab es ein interessantes Rebranding.

Zusammen mit Farid, Gordon und Christoph vom @das_duumvirat #Podcast besprechen wir die Geschichte der PDAs und Palm - und erörtern wie IBM hier reinpasst.

Went to #HARDOFF to pick something up, and ran across this beauty… a #Palm IIIc for $15! Complete with a keyboard, Pilot Pentopia stylus, modem, mobile phone data adapter and a pair of chargers.

The store description said "the display is somewhat dark” but I think the staff just don’t know how to adjust the brightness on a Palm, after long-pressing the power button and adjusting it up it looks gorgeous!

Power and Datebook buttons are stiff. Puffy battery?

Since #Bluetooth doesn't require you to install drivers, would a current Bluetooth #keyboard work with an old #PocketPC or #Palm #PDA?

I know that they had Bluetooth keyboards made for some of them back in the day but I am not familiar with the backwards compatibility of the Bluetooth standard.

Unfortunately, I do not currently have a Bluetooth keyboard to test. Does anyone else know the answer to this?

The original white and blue packaging for a HP iPaq Bluetooth folding keyboard. It has a picture of the keyboard open like a book with the pocket PC sitting atop horizontally. The packaging post that it is compatible with HP iPaq units with integrated Bluetooth and pocket PCs.
