[Vm-dev] iOS VM and external bluetooth keyboard: it works!

[phil at highoctane.be]

Yes, sure. But that's not what I need.

I have kids using my apps and when the thing doesn't work for
usability or if I want to change something, I want to do that on the
tablet, even if there is no wifi etc.

It is just to support my little use case over here.
