Does it take a USB keyboard?

Sorry for being a newbie, but I haven't been able to figure this out from all the reading I have done on the iRex DR1000 series.

My situation is that I read a lot of PDFs, but don't want to also lug around a notebook computer.

Can you attach a USB keyboard to the iRex and type on it? There are these USB keyboards that are made out of silicone and that roll up into a tight ball, but still lay flat when you unroll them.

Not currently. The USB port that is on the DR allows it to connect to a PC, but it doesn't allow you to connect to other accessories. There has been some speculation that it can be hacked to allow both, but as far as I know nobody has done that yet.
