I've been looking for one for a while now and haven't been able to find any that are designed for use with Windows.
I've come across various options designed for the iPad, Android tablets and game consoles, some of which work with a PC, but require the user to implement some sort of a workaround for basic Windows keys like, well, the Windows key. I've also explored the option of other wireless technologies (especially Logitech's unifying receiver), but finally settled on Bluetooth because of its ubiquity and the fact that non-Bluetooth keyboards usually require a dongle, meaning they can't be used with devices like tablets (or given today's screen sizes and processing power, a smartphone).
P.S.: I'm considering a Windows Phone purchase once Apollo is out (seems like the best fit for me so far, based on the leaks and current Windows Phone features), so it would be great if it worked well with a smartphone, too, although that's not necessary.
Question about
Does anyone know of a backlit Bluetooth keyboard specifically designed for use with Windows machines?

It is very very tricky to find a backlit one that utilizes Bluetooth due to battery concerns. Lighting and connection take up a ton of juice and you would need to recharge often. You can find mini keyboards with these features, but the only full sized one I know of is

Just a side note. I think you should look into getting 2 keyboards. One for your computer and one for tablets. Personally, I would find it annoying to have to re-pair my keyboard between my phone and computer every time I wanted to switch between the devices. The long term hassle would be worth me getting a separate tablet keyboard if i needed one.
