I have the page flip firefly. Works with Mobilesheets on Galaxy Tab (android) very easy to setup/pair. It's smaller than I had imagined it would be. I've been practicing with it for about two weeks now and I'd estimate that I turn pages without messing up the flow about 60-70% of the time. Going backward is difficult - the pedals are very close to each other and cannot be separated. Also, sometimes a light tap will turn a page but not reliably - a firm press in the direct center of the pedal is the only way to be 100% certain your page will turn. battery life is good, it's easy to turn on and off (although I rarely remember to turn it off) and there are two little lights on it that might help you spot it in the dark. it moves around on carpet - I try to anchor it by sticking it right next to the aluminum tube on the Roland stand.
I have only used the Bluetooth option. the system will disconnect (shutdown) automatically if 30 minutes goes by with no activity. however, just tapping the pedal will reconnect it - if you are well coordinated and relaxed, you can generally wake it up and get a page turned with maybe a little vamping even if you forgot about to re-connect it after a break.
I am doing my first gig with the tablet and the page turner pedals on Thursday. I'm pretty anxious about all of it, and of course, that's not helping, but I think, if you are a reader (you know who you are) that the advantages of having all the music on the tablet are worth risking some bumpiness.
