    Been using it (the 6000) a bit, and I'm happy to say this keyboard is solid. It fits in my pack, has a solid feel to it, is extremely comfortable for typing, and connects with no issues.

    Something that has bothered me for a long time is why are wireless mice & keyboards almost never bluetooth?

    Cost. The dongles they use are much cheaper than incorporating Bluetooth.

    Setup

    The dock is really handy... using the backwards orientation it sits perfectly (not hooked up to the connector of course) and will be nice for times when you want to use it with a keyboard but can't/dont want to plug it in and/or take it out of the case.

    Hey N0tdan, quick question for you...you're sig says you received your slate on 12/28 with a ship date of 12/27? Did you really get it in one day and did you receive an shipping email?

    Sorry for the quick question guys!

    Yeah... it was nuts. estimated delivery was the 30th! Sunday the 26th eve i got the standard date will follow rollover to the negative two days ago delivery on the HP order status page. then late that night / early morning it went to date will follow a second time (that was the first time i saw it change more than once) after that it said shipping on the 27th.

    Here's the tracking page info

    The crazy thing is from Sacramento it's a good 5 hour drive for me! And I had it in my hands before the 10am stated so i was shocked as I said the estimated delivery wasn't until the 30th

    I didn't get the shipment email until 6:43AM on the 27th, so by then i'd already seen the updated status page and had the tracking number from there.

    Got my Fujitsu Stylus this morning. Strange that I had to sign for it...

    Came in a nice small shipping box well packed. Included the battery, extra nib and a lanyard to attach to the end of it.

    Not having actually seen a stylus before (don't have my Slate yet), it was smaller than I had envisioned it to be. Totally cylindrical body, so it rolls on the flat surface.







    Like the nice dark color. Had some fun trying to take pictures because it wouldn't stay in one place.

    Now I need something to play with it with...
