Almost forgot.. photos from CES here. Shows the backlit keys.

It certainly looks cool, but I wonder how useful it is. I'd prefer a full size keyboard at home to interact with my PS3.

On the go, might be, but how often do people need to carry a BT keyboard around ?

[Shin-Ra]

I think Apple's keyboard is still the best solution currently if you're just typing messages and don't need backlighting. The lack of numeric pad means everything you need is central which is more comfortable.

Apple keyboard for the win, although no reason for a keyboard to watch Blu movies

I think the Keyboard looks pretty cool ... but for my PS3 Maybe for textmessenges om my SonyEricsson K850i mobile

Too bad they didn't release a 5.1/7.1 HDMI speaker systems that can decode Dolby TrueHD and DTS HDMA. Those things will really sell if they can make it right.

Whoa - DiNovo Mini has a hidden PS3 compatibility switch

Very good chance the touchpad will work as expected too!

I don't think it was this model, but I saw a similar thumb keyboard at Best Buy that attaches to the SIXAXIS. I almost used my Best Buy cards on it, but decided to wait for a full sized keyboard.

Question... I assume you can get any Bluetooth keyboard and it would work fine... but when you get any old Bluetooth keyboard, like that nice looking Apple one posted above, what keys are the TRIANGLE, SQUARE, CIRCLE, etc.?

[Shin-Ra]

Best to make sure a bluetooth keyboard is compatible before buying. The link I gave before shows that the Apple keyboard wasn't compatible until a later System Software.

In the XMB ESC = O and RETURN = X, can't remember if TRIANGLE and SQUARE map to anything.

Do you use a mouse in addition to that keyboard for web browsing or just use the controller to navigate? If web browsing is the goal are you better off getting one of the keyboards with an integrated touch pad?

Nice.

I do so adore Logitech devices.
