I've seen keyboards and mice that had bluetooth connectivity support. Assuming the carriers haven't blocked that functionality (Bluetooth connections to non-headsets), the current limiting issues are: * Lack of decent office software on a smartphone/PDA; * Cost; On 2009/10/18 André Schnabel wrote: > I have no idea, why Nokia is investing in "KOffice libs" as backend for a > viewer application.

By porting the libraries, Nokia automatically has an office suite that offers true cross-platform compatibility and functionality.

For mobile platforms, the office suite has to be completely rewritten: * The primary issue is available RAM. (Despite shipping with an alleged 512 MB RAM, I have 12 MB RAM for running programs in, when turned on.); * The secondary issue is the number of environments that can be installed.Java, .NET, etc haven't been ported to mobile platforms yet. As such, the office suite has to be written in one language, with all required functionality contained in libraries ported to the specific language used for writing the program for the specific platform. jonathon -- Ethical conduct is a vice.
