I've picked up a bluetooth keyboard and am actually pretty dang impressed with the setup. I want to play with it some more before I review it, but there may actually be something to be said for a tablet + keyboard arrangement.Ben Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09833753747177544979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12753102.post-77387218365504117672013-11-11T10:24:46.701-05:002013-11-11T10:24:46.701-05:00Deja vu: brings back memories of my Nokia N900, a ...Deja vu: brings back memories of my Nokia N900, a lovely little Linux based phone with built-in keyboard. Nothing I've had since comes close to giving me what I had then. The power of a full Linux (vim, Emacs, ssh, unison, rsync, etc.) in your pocket with the ability to connect to large systems elsewhere.<br /><br />I have tried a bluetooth keyboard with my Nexus 4 (and 7) but was less than satisfied. I will need to try a USB based solution given your positive experience!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12753102.post-28762205459135036172013-10-22T05:29:18.060-04:002013-10-22T05:29:18.060-04:00> Just use it to SSH into your *NIX box and you...> Just use it to SSH into your *NIX box and you are set.<br /><br />I've used various ssh clients on my cell phone for years now, and they are awesome. There's nothing cooler than pulling out my phone, ssh'ing into a server, editing a config file, restarting a server, and saving the day!<br /><br />Still, if I had just a few local tools (vim, subversion, ftp) I could do even more development on the device and not be so dependent on having a high quality network (which ssh effectively needs).<br /><br />> Nice to know; I'm setting up Debian alongside Android on my Nexus 7 right now. <br /><br />The instructions (if you don't mind a factory reset) look amazingly simple.

I'll be interested to see how usable it will be.
