iTablet Bluetooth keyboard

We've been testing an early version of the iTablet Bluetooth Keyboard. Here are our first observation:

We've used the keyboard with a Samsung Galaxy Tab and with an Archos 10.1. Both are tablets and both use Android 2.2. We have been able to connect and pair with both, often after several frustrating tries, but can't seem to maintain a connection for very long.

With a Motorola XOOM using Android 3.0 function is fine. We connect easily and everything seems to work as programmed.

The keyboard may be great for people who are used to using cell phone keyboards for texting (just about everyone under the age of 30) but I found it slow and tedious to use. It seemed like I needed to use all 10 fingers but in very different ways than I'm used to. This may be more of a commentary on the way I use a keyboard than the useability of the product.

The User Guide is one of the best we've seen for a product that can connect to so many different OSs.
