It would have priced the keyboard totally out of the market, and would have made a substantial keyboard downright heavy. Imagine my surprise when I got a quick reply from the marketing rep at iHome that it WASN’T a cordless keyboard! It had Bluetooth capability, but most likely because of the power required by the amplifier for its speakers (more later), it really wasn’t practical to put a large battery in the thing. I thought, gee, it was a dud and I should contact iHome to see about a replacement, which I did later that afternoon. I set it up on the table and it didn’t work! I had to plug the external “wall wart†into the AC power socket to fire it up. I threw it in my bag and brought it to the meeting. I even showed it at a local Mac user group meeting after “charging†it overnight. I just assumed that if it was a Bluetooth keyboard, it was most likely battery operated. It was there that I put on my assumption (dunce) cap. I saw from the included documentation and the notes on the outside that it was a Bluetooth keyboard (among other real neat things — more later). I got this really interesting keyboard from the fine folks at iHome to review. Well, I really stuck my foot in it this time. IHome iDM5 Wireless Keyboard iHome iDM5 Wireless Keyboard
