This is an IrDA keyboard driver packaged for the Symbian UIQ (Sony Ericsson P800/P900 phone for example). It currently supports the Pocketop, targus and Palm Wireless Keyboard (from Think Outside) in US, French and German layouts.
This is a derivative work from Chris Faherty & Johan Frank improved for the Symbian UIQ platform.

Here is my P800 with the French version of the Palm keyboard :

Some screenshots, selection of model and selection of keyboard layout :

Installation instructions

Download and unzip the binary release.
Be sure your phone is connected.
Open keyboard.sis, it should trigger the installation.

How to use it

Execute UIQKeyboard application.
Select your Model & Keyboard Layout.
Do a Command / Turn On.
Test your keyboard on the test text box of the application.
If everything is ok, switch to another application.

How to close this program when it runs in background

Execute again UIQKeyboard from the application list (it will actually just bring it up).
Select Quit in the Command menu. It should free the IrDA port.

If you need a similar custom software on this platform or in Java, you can inquiry Indigonauts, I would be happy to help you on your project.
