I would like to connect an external keyboard I have to my blackberry so that I can type on the keyboard and have it pump the data via the mini-usb to blackberry.

The keyboard is an Alphasmart Dana AlphaSmart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Question -- how do I go about writing a program for this? I am familiar with Java. I'm just looking for some pointers on general API's/classes that will need to be implemented for this.

To summarize -- I would like to connect the Dana keyboard via it's USB out to my blackberry 8330's mini usb plug. I would then like to open a program on the blackberry which will "listen" and capture all keystrokes coming from the USB into a notepad type document. Then I would like to be able to copy the text from that open "notepad" on the blackberry and simply paste it into whatever application.

Thanks for any help!

Somehow, it seems like I've seen this a million times already... No?

If you're referencing the discussed topic of "slave to slave" USB device pair ups -- the Alphasmart Dana is a master USB device.
