[Athen] using phone as keyboard input device

[Nusen, Michael]

http://usb.brando.com/ carries at least 3 mini wireless keyboards that are ~ 1/6th the size of a std. keyboard with prices ranging from $33 to $42 to $62.
You'll need to search for "Bluetooth" to find them though.
Hope this helps.

I have not tried this and so I really do not know if it would work http://jm2pc.sourceforge.net/ but it is open source and free! Java mobile to PC.

There is also a mouse that is a phone but looks a bit out of date and yet I am sure I came across an new mouse with text keys http://www.fontusa.com/MousePhone/

Does anyone have experience trying to use a cell phone keyboard as a computer input device?  We have a student who has enough range of motion and dexterity to text on his cell phone quite efficiently, but really struggles with a full-size keyboard.  I can find small adaptive keyboards which are quite costly, but was wondering if a cell phone keyboard would work.

Thanks.

Sharon
