iPhone 2G/3Gs Bluetooth Keyboard App : BTstack Keyboard
The BTstack Keyboard application allows you to use a Bluetooth keyboard with the iPhone and iPod Touch. Foldable, travel-friendly keyboards have been supported for at least a half of a decade by all smartphones, except by the iPhone. That is a shame, as the iPhone is a compact computer you already carry around. Combined with a portable keyboard,iPhone 2G/3Gs Bluetooth Keyboard App : BTstack Keyboard can replace your laptop for taking notes or writing emails at meetings or at your favorite coffee shop.
The application fills this gap. It is based on the open-source BTstack project, a Bluetooth stack designed for embedded devices where resources are scarce.
BTstack Keyboard runs on jailbroken iPhone 2G/ 3G(S) and all iPod touch devices with Bluetooth support. It does not work on the iPhone 2G yet, but iPhone 2G/3Gs Bluetooth Keyboard App : BTstack Keyboard is not impossible to make it run on this device as well. It is available via the Cydia Store.

We had at hand also the Cellulon Laser Projection Keyboard CL800TB. It doesn’t work (well, not yet 
as it uses a custom protocol over RFCOMM. The iTech Virtual BT Keyboard seems to be the same device.
