So what’s the big deal? Do we need to jailbreak the iPad or iPhone/iPod touch first? The answer is no. All you need to do is download a simple app from the iTunes App Store on both the devices you wish to make a combo of, an iPad and an iPhone/iPod touch that is. Name of the app? External Keyboard – an app that actually makes use of the WiFi or Bluetooth as a connecting medium between the two iDevices and allows you to use all the languages offered on the iPhone/iPod touch that aren’t available on the iPad itself.
But then come the demerits. As mentioned earlier, the app needs to be running on both the devices you wish to make out a combo of. When you’re writing an email through this app, because of the reason that this app works as a web browser, you are only restricted to filling in the body of the email an don’t the rest of the smaller bits such as the To, From, Subject, etc fields, that still need to be filled using the original on-screen keyboard of iPad.
So yeah, that’s a bit of hassle and not everyone would be comfortable with such shortcomings. Nevertheless, the app is up for grabs, available for only $0.99. Not to forget, the app must be downloaded on both the devices you wish to use in pair. Here’s the iTunes App Store link to download the apps
