Pair one time, auto connect every time?

I plan to buy a bluetooth dongle and use the wireless keyboard with my Powermac G5 which needs password to login. If I paired the wireless keyboard, does it means my G5 will auto connect it every time when I start the machine and no need to click connect before I can start typing something? I was concern it will not connect by itself upon startup and that way I can't type my password and get on the desktop.

How easy is it to pair this keyboard with multiple devices?

I'd like to be able to use it (at different times) with a MBP, iphone or ipad. I'm wondering if that's easy to do (say by simply toggling bluetooth on and off on each device), or if the keyboard would only let itself be 'paired' with a single device at a time and if I'd have to go through a re-pairing process every time I changed.

When it comes the new one?    Thanks

I was expecting to change my Macbook Pro keyboard to Japanese keyboard since I bought it.

Now it's a better choice and time to buy this one I think.

Is there a version of the wireless keyboard with a Canadian bilingual layout (CSA), similar to what I have on my MacBook Pro?

My MacBook pro has the Canadian layout with accented letters... my wireless keyboard is pure QWERTY and constantly shifting from one to the other is ... tiring. And I write in French 25% of the time.

Configure Apple Wireless Keyboard for iPad with a PC??

I don't have a mac, but do have an iPad and would like to purchase the Apple Wireless Keyboard to use with it. From the system requirements info it appears that you need a mac to configure the wireless keyboard before use. Is there anyway to get around this with a PC? I've read on several different sites on how to pair the wireless keyboard with a PC, but I wanted to double check that I will be able to use the keyboard with the iPad if I do this.

will the wireless keyboard work with the wired keyboard simultaneously

I have both and can get my bluetooth to pair, then it abruptly drops the connection maybe a minute later. I am trying to use the extra keyboard with a lightroom skin as a helper in lightroom..

Can you power on a MacBook Pro (early 2011) using the wireless keyboard?

I'm going to be using my MacBook while it's closed and connected to a display when I'm at my desk and I was wondering if i'll be able to power it up with the keyboard so I don't have to open it up every time.

Is there a wireless keyboard for the iPad that can fold up?

My husband wants a roll up keyboard that "is made out of that plastic, rubbery stuff". Does Apple make something like that? He wants to be able to travel with it, e.g., be able to "put it in his pocket", at least, put it easily in his iPad carrier.
