Yeah, i won't actually be throwing it in the bin :P
But I will definately be getting the HID model. As it's HID I'll also be
able to use it as a wireless kb for my media centre pc and macbook pro when
connected to a telly. Personally, I'm rather pissed at manufacturers for
thinking SPP bluetooth keyboards were a good idea when HID has been around
since the birth of bluetooth. Thats what HID _is for_. SPP keyboards are
just unnecessarily limiting for no good reason at all. (I'm equally pissed
they also decided leaving the host-mode USB controllers in the xscale cpus
as disabled in most pocketpcs was a good idea. Did they honestly think
people wouldn't want this???? Silly. Pretty much eliminates the 'pc' in
'pocketpc'.)
