is the apple wireless keyboard only able to connect with bluetooth

i have a computer without blue tooth but it has many spare usb spots. is there a usb device that can send a signal to the keyboard so it will still work with out bluetooth, almost like a wireless mouse. or do i have to ask a computer shop to install bluetooth to my computer itself

Does this keyboard feature bluetooth 3.0, or bluetooth 4.0.  I want to use it with my new Ipad which offers bluetooth 4.0 technology.

Does it work with ipod touch 4G? I type very fast, but I'm shaky and useless with the touch pads. Or is there any keyboard that works for the ipopd?

I don't care if it's bluetooth, USB, or whatever to connect and as long as the buttons are buttons, not flat, virtual, touch-pad, I don't really care how small or big it is. Sure, I'd rather have something I can pack around, but I have a new ipod touch 4G and within 24 hours, it has nearly driven me mental with having to re-enter and re-type things. And I have REALLY small hands and fingertips.

can you use the wireless keyboard with the my writing spot for ipad app ?

I understand the bluetooth concept and that the wireless keyboard will work with my wireless ipad2 16gb.

The question is will it work with all the ipad apps, specificially the My Writing Spot for I Pad app which costs $4.99.

This apps developer only addresses the issue of syncing on the app support page.


Thanks for all your help!

At what distance in practice does this work at and does Bluetooth work through walls floors and ceilings?

It would be handy to be able to use the iTunes controls (volume, skip tracks, fast forward etc) in the bedroom which is above the living room where the MacBook lives connected to the TV. The distance would be less than 5 metres but there's a floor/ceiling in the way, will it work? It's a lot to spend just to try it out. I also want to know if it will work from a long way away with no obstacles like from the kitchen with the door to the living room open to control the iTunes movie while at the kitchen table. Is the 30 feet advertised actually true in practice and does the distance shorten as the battery life decreases?

Where is the _wireless_ keyboard with numeric pad? Search can't find.

Need to replace one I have. Have to turn it on/off to disconnect/reconnect constantly to get it to work properly (otherwise, stutters incomprehensibly ... type 'a' get 'aaa', etc). Developing apps. Need keypad.
