Pros: well-made, easy to use, comfortable keyboard Cons: expensive
After pondering whether or not to get the Palm Portable Keyboard for my Palm Vx for months, I ended up getting one as a Christmas present. I am thrilled with it already!
STRENGTHS:
-The keyboard is very compact, and folds up into a...
There are times in my job when only a laptop will do. Powerpoint presentations, detailed record modifications in my contact software, and the like. 90% of the time, all I need to do is write a few emails, edit a contact's information, or take a few...
Pros: Tiny! Foldy! Good action, full-sized keys! Cons: One minor software problem. That's it. Nothing else.
So, I've had a Visor for a while, and I'd been avoiding using it for extended text-entry, since doing lots of writing is kind of tiring. It's great for jotting notes, but not necessarily for, say, taking notes during classes or presentations. ...
Pros: Small, smartly designed, low power consumption, rugged. Cons: Difficult for large fingers, no carry case.
This is not a review of the Stowaway Portable Keyboard - it is for the Fellowes Pocket PDA Keyboard. When Epinions creates a new category for this, I will move this review there.
I have owned the Palm III ever since it debuted...
Pros: Increases productivity, great for meetings, a useful gadget Cons: Feels somewhat delicate, probably not durable enough for long-term/high-use applications.
The Palm portable keyboard transformed my PDA from a calendar/diary/ebook into a fully functional word processor. Being able to bang out typed notes during meetings has saved me many hours of work (I have very poor handwriting and had a habit of typing...
Pros: Its full-size keys allow full-speed touch-typing on my Palm, and it's very portable. Cons: Must be used on a flat surface, and PalmOS is still a stylus-oriented interface.
Do you touch-type? I see no reason to buy this portable keyboard unless you do. You can probably hunt-and-peck with the on-screen keyboard just as quickly as you can with this portable keyboard.
Does Graffiti slow you down? Does the on-screen...
Pros: Fast entry of text, light weight Cons: Software doesn't let you drive applications from the keyboard
Palm Keyboard Evaluation
Overall: the keyboard is a major leap forward for Palm users. I typed this review on my Pilot in maybe 5% of the time it would have taken otherwise. However, modifications to the key assignments would be useful to help...
Pros: Small, yet full size! no batteries. Cons: None
I love my Palm V and do not mind graphitti one bit. But there are days i just want to write a journal entry or type an email, which i would never do with graphitti, it would just be a waste of time and my goal for my palm, is to save time and make my...
The Stowaway Keyboard is the best user input alternative available. This foldable, portable keyboard has everything the traveling worker needs. Unlike its counterparts (GoType and Twiddler), the Stowaway is a fully functional keyboard with a...
Pros: Full sized keyboard that packs tiny is perfect for travel Cons: None
I travel quite a bit for my Venture Capital fund, and for the last few years I've lugged a laptop wherever I went. Over time, however, I started to realize that all I really wanted to do was to check and respond to email, and have my calendar and...
Pros: Small, full-size keys, customizable Cons: No power button, vertical main buttons
I've long been a laptop user, traveling around the world, and the Handspring Visor was perfect except for taking notes in class. I can write graffiti around 40-50wpm, but that's still slower than taking notes on paper.
Pros: The best alternative to grafitti; high quality device; very small Cons: somewhat expensive; you may need to buy an add-on third-party word processor
After I bought my Palm Pilot almost a year ago, I quickly got used to Grafitti. Once you get used to it, the Grafitti language becomes very accurate, but never extremely fast. I loved using Grafitti to enter short memos or coming up events in the...
A compact, lightweight keyboard as good as most laptops' - and it still has quite the "wow" factor when you unfold it on a plane. Seriously, the ability to simply power on and actually type into the Palm is wonderful - I've written short...
