The one I'm looking to get is the Logitech M55b, you should be able to get it form amazon.uk.....as with anything, there are good reviews and bad reviews. I'm considering this one above all the rest just for the super fast scrolling, although it will be my first bluetooth mouse, my current MX Anywhere mouse and my previous VX Nano have both had this type of scrolling and now I can't go back!

How is the scrolling on that one ?
Anyone know when this will be released? Asus announced it months ago but I have yet to see anything.
Basically it's a small adapter that gives you a USB port without using the dock.
Vapor. Imaginary. Non-existent.
Some suggest ASUS refuses to sell it because it might put off dock sales.
In two weeks I will give up waiting.

Certainly, not with me.
We should all start emailing them. If the next tablet has the same connector, we're bound to see it soonernor later.

Get used to the lack of accessories. The biggest problem with Android is we will never have the variety of accessories that you can get with apple products because we don't have standard ports and locations on Android products even from the same manufacturer. This is my biggest gripe with Android.
For example, my Nexus One has a great car dock and desktop dock but guess what? You can only use it with the Nexus One and no other HTC phone. This seems to be the way for every Android product, only proprietary accessories that don't work with anything else.

Just wondering , but do docks and cases and stuff for the iphone and ipad work with previous/newer versions? I wasn't aware they did
According to ExcaliberPC, it should be released around 8/17.

Cases no, docks yes. Take a look at any generic iPad dock. Like this one:
http://www.brookstone.com/idesign-p...atId=L3_iPodDocks|L2_iPodMedia|L1_Electronics
...and look at the compatibility list.
I'm not trying to give apple credit for anything, I personally can't stand them. But, I do see why third parties aren't jumping to make android accessories, such as docks. You make one for apple, it is automatically compatible with a variety of product. You make one for android, you're making it for one device or you have to make multiple versions to accommodate multiple devices.

Realistically though, just about every android phone uses micro usb. It wouldn't be hard for someone to make a somewhat universal dock. Maybe we should start requesting it.

I completely agree. I really don't understand why there aren't micro usb docks out there. Make it just like the friggin apple one, but slap a micro usb on it instead.
....unfortunately wouldn't help us with out transformers. Damn proprietary connectors!
This is a big let down.
im not paying a $150 dock for a USB slot...
get your act together Asus. Want to compete with Apple?.. Then wake the F up.
Make your product more appealing to developers, buyers.
Samsung's adaptor is $20 right? And its been out i believe.
I second that, would it kill em to add one full or even a micro usb slot to the next model so people don't have to buy the dock! I guess that is the only real advantage of the Iconica over the TF, but the TF is still king in my book.
If micro then we could buy one of these, but I would prefer a full usb port though.
http://www.amazon.com/USB-Micro-Ada...U6/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1312507238&sr=8-13
This may be a stupid question, but has anyone tried a male/female USB cable with the charging cable and a flash drive? It wouldn't surprise me if it worked. Wouldn't surprise me if it didn't either.

Using a female/female adapter works for some devices. There's a list around here somewhere of tested devices. The main factor is probably the device's power consumption, as with most portable devices that have host mode.

Didn't it occur to you that asus could have purposely delayed the manufacture/sale of the usb adapter in order to entice/force people to buy the keyboard dock?

I know the dock is a marketing ploy of ASUS " is just business " but they are acting like Apple now!
Yes, I too wish we could trasform..no pun..the micro sd slot into a usb port but I don't think they make an app/adapter for that

Anybody tried to use this yet with their transformer, I was thinking of trying it over the PS3 controller because I could use it with my phone as well.
I've got one and it works great using a app called bluez ime then using on snesiod gameboid and n64oid

I've been thinking about getting one, but shipping to the US is pretty steep.
Have you gotten the PS3 controller to work with the Transformer over Bluetooth or via USB(on the dock) only? I'm trying to find a nice gamepad that would work without needing the dock to use.
I would really like to get one of these:
http://www.phonejoy.net/pre-order.html
But they are only made in small batches. Orders are done through a pre-order system, and the pre-orders are sold out every time I check.
There's a good review of it here:

That is nice, but the reason I liked the iControlPad is because it is slimmer and will fit in my bag with the transformer better.

I might have to grab an iControlPad myself. I heard about it a while back, but haven't checked on it in a while. Looks like it came together pretty well.
Does the Photon only work with the Motorola BT keyboard? I have tried 2 BT keyboards I already have and I cannot get them to pair with the phone. I tried both the 0000 and 1234 passkeys the phone tells me but neither works. Neither of my keyboards came with passkeys. Thanks in advance for any help you folks can offer.
I just paired mine to an Apple Wireless Keyboard (bluetooth) that I had laying arond and it worked fine.
Random note about pairing an apple keyboard though:
After the phone asks you to put in a pin number and you hit ok, immediately type the same pin into the keyboard and hit enter. Then it will pair fine.
Hmm I will have to give that entering the key on the keyboard a try.
Yup that did the trick. I am using the Targus tablet keyboard and I did as you said, I entered the passkey on the phone and as soon as I hit OK I entered the same number on the keyboard and hit enter and boom I was in business. Only thing though I don't know if your using SPb 3D shell but I had to uninstall it because everytime I connect the keyboard the whole SPB shell crashes. Anyone else using SPB 3D shell experience this?
Sorry, I'm not using that. Is it a launcher? I'm using launcher pro.

Best product I have seen for portability/functionality: Logitech diNovo Mini
In theory, should any keyboard that properly implements canonical Bluetooth HID work with the Photon (at least, well enough to work properly with Connectbot, including cursor keys)? Or in more concrete terms, has anybody found a Bluetooth HID keyboard that worked with Cyanogen, but DIDN'T work as expected on a Photon with stock firmware?
(by the way, I'm also open to suggestions for a keyboard that can be non-awkwardly pocketed, and is suitable for both panic-stricken sysadmin work with Connectbot involving bash & SQL *and* casual web browsing while eating at BK. I could almost deal with one that's "phone-like" as long as the center-to-center key pitch is at least as wide as the Epic, it has a number row, and the symbols are in the right places... but with more empty space surrounding the keys so I won't have to press with my fingertip to avoid pressing an adjacent key. I'd totally kill for the folding Jorno KB I saw on Wired & Gizmodo, but it looks like THAT one won't actually be available until 2012 even though they started sending out press releases and demo units last year).
Update: does anybody have an opinion (good, bad, awesome-if-it-worked-but-it-doesn't, etc) about this particular keyboard:
http://www.dracotek.com/bluetooth-w...e-smartphones-pc-laptop-and-more-bfkip01.html
It looks like the latest incarnation of the 4-way folding keyboard design that's been around since at least the Palm V (now, with bluetooth and USB-recharged lithium battery). I really like it (on paper, at least), because it's the only keyboard like this I've ever found that has all the keys I care about in the right places. I've been lusting after a keyboard like this for literally years, but it seems like my phones have always been one version away from compatibility with it (sigh). Now that I have a phone that literally knows how to deal with proper Bluetooth HID out of the box, I'm dying to finally buy one the moment I have an excuse to believe it's likely to work ;-)
I picked up the Official Moto Keyboard at Target for $48 - Normally $69.99 - it was marked as clearance - couldn't pass it up
Connected and works very well with the Hacked webtop

That worked with the CE Compass Mini Bluetooth as well. If only the documentation had mentioned that critical step.
The CE Compass bluetoothhas a mouse ponter control, uses AAA batteries, and is cheaper than Logitech but probably not as robust.
It is about half the size of an iPad. So it could go into a big pocket.
Thanks to follow
Well, for what it's worth, I've successfully paired and used both a DiNovo keyboard and MX900 mouse. I haven't bought a pocketable keyboard though. At the moment, I'm trying to find an app compatible with the Hero that can emulate a real, honest to god Bluetooth HID keyboard and Mouse (99% of the apps in Android Market don't emulate HID, and require a special server app that doesn't work on phones/tablets at the other end). If I can get the Hero to work and pair with my Photon as its keyboard/mouse, I'll be psyched... I already own it, it's just sitting in a drawer anyway, it's half the size of actual pocketable bluetooth keyboards with mouse capabilities, and I can do Graffiti on it instead of fumbling with keys scaled for a midget

the first one is the cheapest. i believe the other ones are just a lil newer. just make sure u order bluetooth and not 2.4ghz.
Those look nice but don't need a touch pad tho. I never use webtop not found myself ib a situation to need to use webtop since my laptop is always near by. I'm just looking for a mini keyboard that will work.

Same here... The rii micro keyboard is pretty sic.. and it comes with a free usb-bluetooth adapter. Combine this with Ubuntop hack and u have yourself a very savage machine!!
Any cases with Incorporated keyboards with touch pads specifically for the S4, or that will fit the S4?
I haven't seen any specifically for the S4, but I saw some universal ones.
If you had the tab S2 Samsung keyboard it works, of course you can't use the case though.
I have an IVSO keyboard case but using my Tab S2 keyboard.
I order this one from amazon, and waiting for it, but it seems to be a good one!
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LRR2GJC/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_kPcJCbSAF0BDT
did you test surface keyboard? did it work? good sensitivtiy of the touchpad?
Did you manage to find any decent ones? I have a Tab S4 arriving today and would really like to get a keyboard case for it, but I don't want one without a touchpad.
Also, all the third party keyboards I have seen are bluetooth - are there none available that connect through pins like the official keyboard case??
I'm looking for a surface-like keyboard + trackpad too!!
