Hi, this isn't true. My Motorola headset is Bluetooth and when it's connected to my iPHone I get the battery percentage. The same is true for other headsets I've seen.

Unfortunately, iOS doesn’t report battery indicators for any Bluetooth

in production anymore. I really, really wish it would, however.

*Subject:* Logitech keyboard cover for the iPad, etc.

Hello all,

Sorry if this has been posted previously, but I wanted to mention that I
use the Logitech ultrathin keyboard cover for the iPad,and I've been
very happy with it.

First, the keyboard is quite easy to use and has a comfortable feel wehn
I am typing. I can use the onscreen keyboard pretty well, in fact,
better than on the iPhone, but I like the bt keyboard for quickly typing
emails, notes, and so forth.

The battery life is quite good, as the documentation says the battery
will last for six months based on using the iPad for two hours every
day. There are two shortcomings involving the micro USB cable and the
batttery indicator. First, the cable is approximately six inches long,
so the keyboard has to be very close to your computer or to the outlet
where the iPad charger is plugged in to charge the keyboard's battery.

Also, there doesnt' seem to be an indicator on the iPad that notifies
one of the battery status. The status bar across the top of the screen
shows "bluetooth connected" but no battery indicator.

On another subject, Several have talked about using the Pages program. I
haven't gotten that app, but I plan to do so. In the meantime, I am
using a free app called IA Writer. I'm still experimenting with it, but
it works well with VoiceOver and can be used in conjunction with Dropbox
and iCloud. Files can also be stored on your IOS device.

Files can be exported as plain text, email attachments or sent to a printer.

I wrote a short test file and sent it to my work email. It worked like a
charm,and when I checked, there was the attached file in plain text
format. There is also a way of sending a formatted file, but I haven't
tried that option yet.

I also believe that IA Writer has a spell checker, but I haven't ben
able to find it.

Anyway, I am continuing to experiment with the iPad and apps,and am
enjoying it very much.

Sincerely,

Liz Campbell
