It's an excellent device; small, light and a decent feel for a non touch typist such as me. Beware: I previously bought a $15 Ebay Bluetooth keyboard and although it worked well enough its keys were not reliable and typos were both many and frustrating. Spend the extra and go with the Logictech.
With a decent editor I think I may finally be able to finish my novel on just the 10" Android tablet and Bluetooth keyboard... maybe :)

Typing on keyboard now and using a mouse.
Simple adapter with a small "hub" out of camera. You can get a few types of the adaptors. I got this one off ebay 3 or 4 years ago. But got the up dated version for my mobile from a cheapy shop.
Umm, didn't notice the price. $48. Good. Thought it was $128 for some reason.

I did the same with a cheapie blue-tooth keyboard. Linking it to the laptop, tablet and phone makes it easier to keep a Blog and send text when I get internet coverage.

Swipe keyboards are certainly an improvement over "hunt and peck" but it's still tedious typing more than a couple of lines with them.
To this end I have recently treated myself to a Logitech K380 Bluetooth keyboard from Officeworks for $48:
