That BT keyboard looks useful, for connectivity to other devices than a Windows laptop/desktop. Having the USB is a bonus. But at ca $200 and weighing well over 1kg it's a bit "heavy" for me. My requirements for a keyboard are modest, but I have found the Logitech Cordless Internet Pro (a bit old)

I used ExtJS on the front end with .NET at the back, plus Comet style messaging between client and server for a trading application. The front end was just single page app, because as Steve points out, ExtJS just takes over in that department. I really enjoyed working with it. There is also this:

It's not too bad, although I've not really had much experience with Javascript UI yet. (A little Kendo UI which is also very impressiv

Has anyone used Sencha components with dot net. I'm thinking that these guys have their act together on the front end & perhaps hooking up to dot net web services or similar on the back end. I've looked briefly at their demo site and on the surface it looks pretty impressive. I'm intrigued as to h
