Dr. Ralf Ackermann has modified a Xbox 360 Chatpad to work as a keyboard for the iPhone, according to an Engadget report.
This hack isn't for the faint of heart. In fact, it's more a demonstration of Dr. Ralf Ackermann's technical badassery than anything practical. But its as good as it gets until Apple achieves a state of sanity and flips the switch on its Bluetooth stack to finally allow us the option of pairing a Bluetooth keyboard to the iPhone. The setup starts with a cobbled together Xbox 360 Chatpad and XBee wireless module. The good doctor then takes a Jailbroken phone (naturally) and attaches another wireless XBee module to the iPhone's jury-rigged serial port housed in an Akku enclosure. A work in progress, it will ultimately rely upon a VNC server running on the iPhone to feed keyboard input to any application of your choosing.
Interesting but not very practical.
Still nice POC.
Would it not be possible to fake a Bluetooth Keyboards Ident so it
would show and detect as a Headset or other recognized device?
I've been able to connect a Motorola phone to an iPhone using the bluetooth, the problem is once that's done, there's no supporting software for data transfer etc..
