    Hi all,

    i am a very proud owner of a Sony UX380n, but i find the keyboard difficult to use on the move, i am looking at purchasing a portable bluetooth keyboard, but cant seem to find any that support Windows Vista.

    Do any of you have experience of using one? and can make a recommendation?

    many thanks

    hehe - thanks for the response!

    i've looked at this, but it wouldn't be suitable for me really, because i tend to use my UX in the car (gps etc) - and on airplanes, so was looking for a more fixed keyboard. There is also a cloth one you can get - but once again not sure this would be ultimately suitable for me.

    cheers

    This can be a very difficult gadget to use since this is merely a virtual keyboard than an actual keyboard itself. Its like writing an SMS on a smartphones touch screen, its hard to sense if you got the right letters.

    Why don't you look into iGO's Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard or the Think Outside Stowaway Universal Bluetooth Keyboard. This should fit your needs well. The best thing is that they can fit right into your jacket pocket when not in use.

    Well how portable are you looking for?
    Apple has a newly designed bluetooth keyboard that is more slim and light than any other normal sized BT keyboard on the market.
