> Next Rick shows us how to use your iDevice I.E. iPod touch, iPad, iPhone 
> 4.x
> with a Apple bluetooth keyboard. He will show us how to do many things on
> the device such as opening programs and switching between programs, 
> surfing
> the net, downloading apps from the app store, typing text without ever
> touching the screen of the device. This not only makes using the devices
> easier in many ways but it also may open the device up for use by persons
> that may not be able or desire to use the devices otherwise.
