Is there any update on the topic of BT keyboard+QtMoko?

I recently bought the following one:
  http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260747301433&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

which is quite cheep, small and light.
It can pair with QtMoko but I can't use it for input. I tested it with 
the iphone of a colleague and, indeed, it works.
