The keyboard could work, sure. I have not used it personally, so have no input. The big issue would be power, you would probably need to run through a powered hub or a "y" adapter.

As for the adapter you showed, no it will not work. It needs to be a Micro A male to ___ (whatever size female you want, for the keyboard it would just be a normal sized A).

This is probably the adapter you would want: http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSea ... nt_id=5042

Another option if you want to use: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002QW ... ss_product

Both are from this thread: http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSea ... nt_id=5042

Yes and no. That adapter would allow you to plug and micro USB device into if. The other would allow you to plug full size items like flash drives. The bigger issue is compatibility with Android and the post power the 70 provides through USB. Weber or not a device will work is really trial and error. This is a good thread start to finish for more details.
