Project external keyboard possible in kindle fire ??

---

I love kindle fire! best tablet $200 ! love LCD screen 1024x600 IPS!!!

But .. need to put an external keyboard to use in college in order to enter text! future can be no such enhancement like the ipad have?

Not yet. The best option is likely based on activating the bluetooth capability that appears to be on the motherboard. Developers are looking at that but are focusing on the ICS alpha.

Search this site or others for updates

When i am at home i use the app wifikeyboard.

Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

Would this work?

I have a Galaxy S2, which does support my bluetooth keyboard.

Could I use wifi keyboard with the phone and the kindle fire, type on the phone via bluetooth, then wifikeyboard copies it to the kindle fire?

Ive a BT keyboard on the way, so I will test it!

It has been stated multiple times in the dev forum that there is no Bluetooth in the fire.

Hashcode did mention the possibility of adding 3rd party USB Bluetooth support to 3.0 once it is stable.

Yes, I never said I was going to use bluetooth.

The bluetooth keyboard connects to my samsung galaxy s2.

I run wifikeyboard on the kindle fire and galaxy s2.

I type with the bluetooth keyboard, it copies onto the galaxy, then appears on the fire.

Its a long way round, but at least I can use an external device when I need to do a lot of typing.

I think he was responding to the earlier poster who mentioned "activating" bluetooth

Yeah, didn't notice that you resurrected a dead thread and replied to ra0ul.

Just use OTG cable

Just do what I did: buy an OTG usb cable from amazon and then use Hashcode's latest 3.0 kernel. It will work like a charm!
