My <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/downloads\/macosx\/apple\/firmware_hardware\/aluminumkeyboardfirmwareupdate11.html\">Apple Wireless Keyboard found a firmware upgrade today<\/a>. Although most any tablet with Bluetooth can use a wireless keyboard, I&#8217;m guessing this is just coincidence and not an upgrade to &#8220;make the keyboard work&#8221; with an anticipated product. Of course, this is good fodder for the\u00a0conspiracy\u00a0theorists out there. <img src='http:\/\/s.wordpress.com\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' \/> <\/p>\n<p>No, there&#8217;s no mention of any tablet compatibility in the release notes. Instead, we get something even more useful: better battery performance! Apple says:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>&#8220;This firmware update improves battery performance of the 2007 aluminum Apple Wireless Keyboard when used in combination with other bluetooth devices (eg. Magic Mouse, some bluetooth headsets, <\/em><em>tablets<\/em><em>) and addresses an issue with the 2007 aluminum Apple Keyboard and the 2007 aluminum Apple Wireless Keyboard where a key may repeat unexpectedly while typing. The update also addresses other issues.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>OK, I added and then struck out the word &#8220;tablets&#8221; in there, but we have to keep leaving clues for people to talk about, right? Seriously, better battery life on wireless peripherals is always welcome. And don&#8217;t forget, if you have a seemingly dead Apple Wireless Keyboard, <a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2009\/11\/05\/how-to-revive-a-dead-apple-bluetooth-keyboard-with-tin-foil\/\">a little bit of tin foil can revive it<\/a> faster than you can say &#8220;Apple Tablet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/stats.wordpress.com\/b.gif?host=jkontherun.com&#038;blog=4479943&#038;post=54751&#038;subd=jkontherun&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With all of the Apple Tablet hysteria this week, it&#8217;s nice to see that Cupertino hasn&#8217;t forgotten about its other products.
