Would it be in any way possible for software on a DS to operate with a palm wireless keyboard?
What about having peripherals like keyboards and storage devices plugging in to the GBA slot?
I don't plan to do anything with that knowledge... but it's worth knowing :D

The wireless keyboards are likely to be Bluetooth. Nintendo DS speaks Wi-Fi (though currently only in a proprietary layer 3). Devices supporting only Bluetooth do not interoperate with devices speaking only Wi-Fi.

there was a company somewhere developing a GBA cart with bluetooth capability....

But if u *did* get a Wi-Fi keyboard and mouse, you would have to program all the drivers and such (propably more networking stuff) into the game itself.
So possible (as far as i understand it) but probably not worthwhile.

Why would you want to, theres already a demo a a touch screen keyboard which you could use and actually see what your typeing. rather then typing five metres away from your ds.
