that's kind of interesting. Although, kind of expensive. I believe the DiNovo Minis still go for around $150.
I happen to have one I use for HTPC. I'll see if I can sync it and if it'll work or not.

It's just a bluetooth keyboard. It has a flip cover when not in use, the Streak is just sitting on the cover. The streak is slightly bigger than the note I believe, so this would work as well.
I was able to sync the DiNovo Mini to the GN2 without issue. The GN just saw it as keyboard input device with a mouse input. I'm on the US Sprint variant, which is rooted, and running a deoxedized stock rom.
Here's a YouTube video showing it working and in the blue tooth synced device list.
Here are some pictures, with some being comparison shots (click on the image for larger image):
The issue I could see with the setup, especially in regards towards the OP's youtube link, the Galaxy Note does not have a landscape home screen mode. There are some apps that can do it; at least from what I found on a quick google search.
I still think it's a bit expensive for it's use. Plus, you would need to come up with a way to secure the GN to DiNovo, especially for environments such as train rides and so forth.

I use a case with kickstand and this rechargeable backlight Bluetooth keyboard with track pad I got for like $20-25.... works great.

I'm sure the Viimote, I think that's what it was called, works great. I've seen it referenced quite a bit for HTPCs. Unfortunately, doesn't seem like an altermative solution to what the original OP's link was to:
As once can see, the GN would be attached the DM's cover. This would be ideal for situations where you don't have surface to place either the GN or keyboard or when one is on the go. This is similar to what products like the Gameklip and trying to solve in regards to gamepad controllers.

Looks very tempting. Amazon has the keyboards for around $70, but that's still kinda steep. As for securing the device I was thinking thin tpu case and industrial velcro, but I would have to have hands on to figure it out.

I was thinking if you're going to secure it, one could try some kind of suction cup thing or maybe whatever something like the Rockfish Pivotpad uses. In the pictures, I just had it sitting on the DM cover. In the video, I just set in a PivotPad I have.
I had the same though about securing a second TPU case to it, but I would be concern about stretching the corners of TPU case(s) or damaging the phone from taking it on and off in cases where one is using it on their daily commutes. The biggest concern I would have, the weight distribution is not even by a long shot. I'm not sure if the weight, in the long term, will damage the hinge. It would be something to look into from the Dell Streak project.
I use my DiNovo for HTPC. So I just did to see if it worked the GN2. I figured size comparison shots between the GN2 and DM would be helpful for someone who wanted to take on the project. I think that is what the other person did, see if it works at all. $70 isn't bad for a blue tooth keyboard that is portable.
Like most things when using DM, you kind of have to figure out which functions work and how. I found escape (fnc + tab) was the back key. I didn't try any of the media keys. The mouse moved kind of slow for my liking; I have it set to max on the HTPC.

There are flashable zips that allow landscape on a twiz rom. I have been using landscape on a stock rooted deodex rom for a while.
