[nabs-l] accessible phones

Sat Sep 15 01:50:37 UTC 2012

Hi,
well, I am not as tech savvy. Do these bluetooth keyboards all hook to IOS 
devices like the I touch and Ipad?
Is blue tooth a wireless technology? If so, do you just hold the keyboard 
near your device and type, and if not how do you connect the keyboard to 
your device? Sounds  cool.
If I ever got an I pod touch or smart phone with touch screen, i'd buy a 
bluetooth keyboard because I could then feel the keys to type.

The keyboard itself will work, but it's built as an iPhone case so it
won't snap under the touch or the iPad. There are many bluetooth
keyboards that are the same size but are not built into an iPhone
case. Maybe something like that would be better for you.
