I'd be happy working on an AirTurn Bluetooth driver given the hardware ;)

That's probably not even necessary – other than as a transparent ploy to get the gadget for free – considering that, according to their website, from the computer's POV the thing basically amounts to a Bluetooth keyboard with a PgUp and a PgDown key. Looks useful if a bit pricey.

The Pageflip Cicada appears to offer the same functionality but somewhat cheaper, and even mentions Linux as a supported operating system (not that this is a big thing once you have the Bluetooth HID interface down).

Disclaimer: I haven't been in the same room with either of the devices, let alone used one to turn sheet music pages.
