Advantages: Can move around and stil type - even on the sofa, no wires Disadvantages: Expensive for a keyboard & mouse, also overall a bit chunky
...with big raised chunky keys, i.e. not flat like the laptop ones and is surrounded by a thick plastic boarder which makes it quite large and as it's supposed to be wireless and convient for easy away from computer use. The fazct that they put so much bulky plastic around it makes it slightly inconvient and pointless for it to be wireless. However it doesn't bother me much as I do most of my typing sitting upright on my desk.
The keyboard is about 50 cm long by x 25cm wide and 4cm deep when stood upright on its feet.
The wonders of modern technology have helped to develop this top of the range keyboard which works via bluetooth to allow wireless use. It's also USB compatible so I can use my memory stick, floppy drive, plug into printer etc, and also has PS2 and inbuilt wireless receiver.
Another inconvient truth about this little gadget is...
Advantages: Cable free, ultra stylish, multimedia friendly keyboard, long battery life easy to setup Disadvantages: When batteries do eventually die, it does take time to re-synch the bluetooth
...I purchased this a while back now, back when the kit was £199, alot of money for a keyboard and mouse pack!
The kit was worth it then, and at the usual £139 asking price now, its a steal!
If you are after a state of the art keyboard, wire free go for this setup. Its FAR superior to any IR keyboard and mouse pack out there, I should know I have been attracted to the allure of wireless keyboards and mice for years and have always found IR, in all honesty rubbish. The DiNovo is completely different, as its based on Bluetooth, there is no signal fade, in fact you can even take the "mobile media control" centre into another room - more on this later!
The setup of the keyboard and mouse was effortless, install software and then install the bluetooth hub - this all you need to plug into the computer and mains (the hub also doubles as...
...I purchased this product a month back for approximately 20 GBP including the delivery charges on amazon.co.uk.
I have gone in for the 10meter range product. It is available in different ranges. So the Bluetooth works within the 10 meters range.
The PC requirements for this product is
*******************************************
PC compatible computer, CPU speed should be above 200MHz or above. Memory should be above 64MB though they say that the recommended memory should be around 128 MB. The system should be Windows 98 and above.
I am not sure of the Mac OS, All I know is that it suports Mac also.

The product itself comes with the CD installation software and documentation, User Manual, Quick Installation Guide.
The Installation guide is good and it was easy for me to follow the steps and setup...
Advantages: Comfortable to type on, compact, stylish, has USB ports, cheap Disadvantages: USB ports only 1.1, shows up dirt more than black keyboards
...in one) or Apple display (which has USB ports) which saves on cable clutter. If you want to connect the keyboard to the base unit (such as a Power Mac or Mac Pro) or use a non-Apple monitor, then you can use the USB extension lead. The extension lead has a notch to use with only Apple keyboards because it is a USB 1.1 device.
Usage
--------------------
The keyboard is very nice to type on. Pressing a key has a nice firm feel and good amount of travel. Instead of having flip down legs which easily get broken, the keyboard is moulded with a nice tilt and is very comfortable to type on.
There are also volume up/down/mute and disc eject keys. There are two USB 1.1 ports on the back of the keyboard which is very convenient for low power devices such as mice, bluetooth donges etc. They are not designed for USB hard drives etc.
I...

Review of Apple keyboard
...This is a good quality keyboard that offers good value for money in the short term. Although as with most electronic products, the value will deteriorate over time and should be anle to get a cheaper version next year. It incorporates most of the latest features and technology that is currently available on the market.
The consumer will have to spend a short period of self-training in order to become fully acquainted with using the product. This can be achieved fairly efficiently by making reference to the guide/instructions that comes in the box.
After using this product for a few months I have not so far come up against any reliability issues but only time will tell. I therefore have to recommend the product....
Advantages: BTv1.2 better for voice, Tiny, very small and did I mention diminutive Disadvantages: Err...cap can drop off...does that count?
...I bought this bluetooth (BT) device so I could connect my notepad to my mobile phone (SonyEricsson K750i) wirelessly; quick summary:I've had it 6 months and it works a treat.
My version is Part # F8T009uk, which is the enhanced BTv1.2 version. It looks identical to the v1.1 version so watch out if you want the improved voice features apparently offered by v1.2 as some shops may try and flog you their old stock. I got lucky on this front as I originally ordered this kit from Amazon but it was out of stock, so I cancelled. Next day I just happened to see that the new version had come out and so picked that up in PCWorld at the same price as Amazon (14.99 GBP).
Opinion:
This thing is TINY! I have used USB dongles before for such things as a USB 54g connection and this is the smallest thing yet (it actually looks bigger on screen...
Advantages: 100m Range, Compact Design, Great Software Disadvantages: Price
...Bluetooth is one of those "nearly" technologies. You know the ones, they promise to change the way we live and they nearly deliver.
In the case of Bluetooth, the claims were for a wireless "Personal Area Network" that would link up all of your electronic devices and allow them to work in harmony with anything else that you came into range of.
It was on this promise of an easier, automated way of life that I bought my Belkin Bluetooth widget.
Measuring barely 70mm x 20mm x 6mm it's a compact, slimline design that doesn't hog too much space either side of your USB port, meaning you can still use the port next to it should you need to. It doesn't stick out too far from the USB port either, and so doesn't snag too often which is particularly important if you are using it with a laptop! The single LED (blue, obviously) flashes...
Advantages: Separated keys; very nice to type on, very nice to look at (doh!) Disadvantages: None really
...I've just purchased the Apple Snow Leopard Mac Box Set from my local Apple authorised service provider, and decided to buy an Apple keyboard with it. The Apple keyboard is priced around £28.00 - and no matter what keyboard I try I can type the fastest with this keyboard due to the separated keys. Very quiet key stroke during operation and just very pleasant to use. The keyboard enclosure is made from aluminium and even without being too close to the keyboard you can smell the aluminium when you first open the product, but the smell soon wares off. Nothing bad or anything - just saying! I actually purchased the keyboard without the numeric keypad - but you can purchase one with or without the numeric keypad usually at the same price.
The keyboard's caps lock has an LED light on the top left corner to denote the obvious, and you have to...

Review of Apple keyboard
Advantages: Tiny, LED, Protective Cap Disadvantages: Annoying features installed
...After I purchased my new phone (Nokia 6230i) I needed to be able to transfer info between my phone and my PC, so I headed out to my local comet and picked this up for £10.99. This tiny Adapter (better known as a Dongle) has a USB socket under a protective cap which plugs into any PC or Laptop. It is USB 2.0, but also supports USB 1.1 on older PC's and has a range of 10meters.
Bluetooth is a way of communicating wirelessly, like infra-red or radio waves and is very easy to use, the only problem is it is slightly slower than using data cables or infra-red.
In the package you get the dongle and a CD with drivers (un-needed on XP as it will be automatically installed when plugged in) When the Dongle is plugged in and Bluetooth is on, a small Blue LED lights up on the dongle, which is very helpful. You can turn bluetooth on or off using...
Advantages: Small, quick to connect to devices like mobiles and pda's. Good value for money. Disadvantages: You must read the instruction manual well to set it up properly.
...I purchased this product just after Christmas and so far, I have not had any problems with it.
The first thing I must say, is that you MUST make sure that you read the instruction manual before doing anything else. From my experience, if your computer has windows xp and 'service pack 2' installed (usually automatically added when connected to the internet). Then you must install the software first and before plugging it in!
Once you have set up the bluetooth adaptor onto your computer (this took me around quarter of an hour) it truly is a marvellous piece of kit. Personally, I bought the Belkin Bluetooth adaptor for several reasons:
1) It works with basically all programmes needing a bluetooth dongle.
2) To connect my bluetooth mobile phone to my laptop so that I could store data (pictures etc.) and copy over appointments...
