I love the way people who don’t know how they would use this immediately conclude that it is not useful for anyone else.

I live in a place where internet is very intermittent. Sometimes my home internet works, sometimes my 3G works. When my internet goes down it’s great to have this as a way to do Skype or other IM! Beats the hell out of the iPhone keyboard!

And while I know it is possible to send a text from some provider websites, if I do this the text doesn’t show up on my iPhone giving me a history of both sides of the conversation.

So – “technology for technology’s sake”, “no use in this”? Thanks for letting me know but I don’t think I’ll delete it from my system or request a refund based upon your astute judgement.

Look Guys, I know its fantastic to think this is saving you some sort of money, or whatever, but its an absolute joke. Why in the hell would you need to type on your iphone at all, if you’re at your Mac!? THINK ABOUT IT. You can use your computer to instant message and TXT people from your provider website or using 3rd party utilities (ie email, for instance, if you know the domain).

Just another case of technology for the sake of technology. There’s no use in this. If you’re at your mac, use your mac. Why would you want to use the stupid phone to browse the net and answer messages when you have a full computer right there with you.

No, … this isn’t able to be done even with a standard bluetooth keyboard when pressing enter. It sucks.

How exactly does one use this with the PS3? I’ve tried to pair my ps3 with my macbook pro but the ps3 keeps saying an error occurred.

Works great!!

By the way, when using this app with Imessage on Iphone, does anyone know how to send the message by using the keyboard instead of touching the screen?

if i wasn’t just dictating all of my messages to Siri, then i would maybe find this more useful.

There’s also an app called iKeyboard which seems to have a better UI and I found out it have multimedia control functions. But much expensive.

Interesting. I’ve always kind of felt once a text gets that long, it should be a call or email. But everyone uses them differently so I can see that.
