Type Super Fast on iPhone or iPod touch with BTstack

Anyone with a jailbroken iPhone or iPod touch can now type with any wireless Bluetooth keyboard with BTstack. BTstack is a $5 app found in Cydia under BigBoss. This is another great app that I'm sure Apple will support at some point, but why wait? If you can type 80 words per minute, then you can type that fast on your iPhone. The Bluetooth app syncs and pairs easily with your keyboard allowing you to then type in Notes, Safari, Mail or any other app.

Tap the icon with a picture and label of "keyboard" and it begins to scan for Bluetooth devices. It should find your keyboard within a few seconds. Simply tap to select it and away you go. It's really amazing how fast things are moving along in the mobile industry. Soon I suspect the keyboard will fold into a nice rectangle that fits within the back of an iPhone case. The BTstack keyboard is just one more little step in mobile computing. I made a quick video to show this app in action. How long until Apple adds a native app to do the same function?
