AT&T is continuing their fire sale of Motorola Atrix-era accessories, today with the Atrix/XOOM Motorola Bluetooth Keyboard for $10. Shipping via USPS Priority Mail is free.
This keyboard is Bluetooth-compatible with most Android devices, as well as all generations of Apple’s iPad. Most keys should function on other devices, though the keyboard layout is optimized for Android-specific feature keys like search and home.
The keyboard is highly-rated, though an earlier version than what Motorola offers today. It runs on AAA batteries and can only be paired to one device at a time. Considering multi-pairing keyboards still range from $50 to $100, it may be cheaper to just purchase multiple keyboards for your home/setup.
Motorola is viewed to be exiting the accessory market, since their acquisition by Google they have discontinued most accessory lines – it’s unclear why AT&T is choosing to burn off this stock all at once in a fire sale. Unlike the Lapdock, this device will continue to work with all current Motorola and other-manufacturer Android devices.
This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen for this keyboard, including shipping, and one of the lowest prices we’ve ever seen for a Bluetooth keyboard period.
We expect this deal to sell out by mid-day, so hurry. You can order up to three keyboards per order.
It’s sold out, but it doesn’t help that you forgot the link
Been a rough morning, Comcast terminated corporate link to the Internet without warning under suspicious circumstances. Someone literally went to the extent to wipe out records we had service.
We’ve been working all morning with them and they are formally investigating. While our service may have been hacked, no data was affected, just our ability to link up to the web. Our passwords and other methods of protecting PhoneNews.com data were not tied to our Comcast account either.
Unfortunately, we had to make painful choices all morning on what to take care of, fixing that link got downranked into oblivion. Some reported early this morning an out-of-stock notice, so you may want to check back later today in case it comes back in stock… and yes, we’ve fixed the link.
Update: Comcast corporate has completed a preliminary investigation, they found our account errors troubling, but are deeming it preliminarily an epic “accounting glitch” (their words) – but will be monitoring things to make sure undue activity is fixed for good.
Comcast has built an entirely new account for us, and we’re back online. HTTP 500 errors you may have seen today were due to an unrelated server-side issue, which has also been fixed.
If you’ll excuse me, I need more coffee after all that.
