Both iOS and Android support only the Apple version, which reverses the " and @ keys. There are a few other differences too, but it is this one that really annoys me. It means I am mistyping email addresses and quotes all the time when using this little keyboard that I bought with the Nexus 7. OK so it is more of a niggle than a full blown disaster but it just creates a background of irritation when I am working.
Also, it means that I will have to buy the official Nexus 7 case/keyboard thingy, which will presumably come with keys that do what they say, which is another sixty quid I won't be spending on beer damnit.
Another frustrating, teeth-gnashing failure was trying to pair the keyboard to a Nokia Lumia 800 running Windows Phone 7, to see if Microsoft did any better on the compatibility front. The software demands the entry of a pin code, but none of the usual suspects (eg 0000) work. There is no pin in the keyboard documentation. And there is no way of skipping the pin. So it won't bloody work. Gnarrrrr.
