Stuart, They have no problem detecting each other. However, Joan Anne solved the immediate problem by pointing me to a profile written by developer Jeff Broderick and jumps me into the Bluetooth app from the home screen.

Sometimes the order in which you do these things has an implication on whether or not they will detect each other.

I would love to find an app that creates a path to a task like reconnecting so that I could just press an icon and the reconnection would be achieved. How could I find such an app? The path would be: Home/settings/General/Bluetooth/TinkOutside All the best, Cearbhall T: +353 (0)1 6364364 m: 08333 23487 E: omeadhrac@xxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joan Ann Brosnan Sent: 24 November 2011 19:35 To: vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vicsireland] Re: keyboards for iPhone 3gs Hi Cearbhall I have read about that issue with some portable keyboards but, this does not happen with the keyboard I am using now. It takes a little time to get used to the layout of the keys on the keyboard and to find the punctuation but, once you get used to it, it is a very useful tool to have with the IPhone. If you need any help, give me a shout.

I am using the Stowaway Bluetooth keyboard by thinkOutside and it works beautifully with the IOS 5 but disconnects when not in use for about 3 minutes. Then I have to pair it again to get started. Have you heard anything about this problem before?

To be honest, I can't remember if there were any shipping costs now as it is quite a while ago since I bought the keyboard. Sorry about that Joan Ann. -----Original Message----- From: vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Cearbhall O'Meadhra Sent: 24 November 2011 18:28 To: vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vicsireland] Re: keyboards for iPhone 3gs Joan Anne, Are you able to use this keyboard with the iPhone IOS 5? I can see that they are charging a total of 30 pounds but without completing the order I cannot see what the shipping charge is. Can you recall how much they charged for shipping when you bought it?
