iPhone users who have jailbroken can now use bluetooth keyboards with their device thanks to a driver by Matthias Ringwald.

The Bluetooth Keyboard driver is based on the BTstack Bluetooth Stack. It supports various HID Keyboards. A demo version entitled, "Keyboard Driver Demo" can be found on the Big Boss Cydia Repository. The demo does not allow use of the keyboard outside of the application. The full version will be available in the Cydia Store soon and will support any application.
