Does such an item exist? I've seen some usb ones but I bluetooth one would be real nice as I already have bluetooth built in. Bascially I want to have this around to take on business trips when I don't want to carry an entire keyboard but I will be doing some excel work where its really beneficial to have a 10-key.

I've never seen a 10 key numberpad in wired, or even wirelss form, only a standard 17 key numberpad, in Bluetooth.

I can use my bluetooth cell phone key pad for numeric entry on thinkpad, does it count?

The Logitech diNovo Keyboard comes with a separate numberpad. You can use that with your built-in Bluetooth

yeah its a misnomer. The "10-key" as we call it in analytics does actually have 17 keys. 10-key I guess is just talking about the numbers 0-9 and not the modifiers (and num lock).

Right, the diNovo is the only one I have come across but not only is it bundled with a keyboard and mouse, but it has some wierd features like acting as a remote and its got a built in lcd and stuff whereas I would like to keep the weight and size down. The DiNovo does look nice though
