Pros: Nice design, very small and light weight. Cons: Not very strong, sort of flimsy and needs a hard surface.
The Design
Well you have to give them some credit. The design is really awesome to say the least. It folds out of its own case and you push the three segments together to form a keyboard. Its extremely light weight, and while in its folded...

Pros: Amazing piece of engineering Cons: Could not get it to work with my Clie, very expensive.
I bought this product because it obviously makes data entry into any PDA much easier. Others have pointed out here that, as far as the base applications like memo and addressbook, you can enter the information into your desktop computer and then synch...

Pros: compact and lightweight Cons: not very stable - expensive
After spending hours learning the palm grafitti script (and getting pretty good at it), someone comes out with a keyboard for the palm pilot! Why couldn't they have come out with that before I spent a year writing things in grafitti on my Palm Pilot....

Pros: Best note-taking device around. Saves re-keying information. Cons: One more thing to carry (big deal.)
Having used my Palm IIIx for some months, I found that note-taking at meetings took so much work that I could barely follow the meeting. On the other hand, I never have time to transcribe notes onto my computer - although I often needed to distribute...

Pros: Full size keyboard for your Palm PDA. Folds to pocket size. Doesn't need batteries. Cons: Needs a flat surface to sit on.
I can't say enough about the Palm Portable Keyboard. I have wanted one since they came out, but I was waiting for the price to come down. I looked at the GoType keyboard, which is cheaper, but it's bulkier to carry and has smaller keys. After test...

Pros: No batteries required. Cool factor. Cons: Needs a flat surface. No remapping for keys (international)
I've just brought my second PDA. A Handspring Platinum. And I thought that why not go to extra $100 for a cool looking keyboard?
I must say that this has been one of the best desion I've ever made.
The Stowaway Portable Keyboard could...

Stowaway Portable Keyboard: Palm
"It's as small as your wallet," my friend said to me when I was constantly complaining about the pain of writing in the Palm sensor space with the sensor pen. I just did not have the time to spend learning...

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.
Then, along came the...

Pros: Extremely portable, responsive with a good feel, good key-size Cons: Stability
I have used the keyboard with both the Compaq iPaq and HP Jornada and think this is the one add-on that every handheld user needs.
It is extremely protable with a footprint that even the most difficult to please traveler has trouble...

Pros: Great input device; easy to use; simple connection Cons: Function keys are not always easy to figure out.
I had purchased a Palm Pilot with the intention of getting away from my paper scheduler and found that I used it very little because of the problem inputting. If I were at my regular computer, it was fine. I could type in the information into the...

Pros: convenient, full size keyboard for your PDA Cons: not great for long periods
The Palm Pilot's Graffit handwriting recognition system was a great idea for PDAs, and easy to use for simple data entry. But beyond that, a keyboard is needed, and the PDAs that come with mini keyboards are painful to use.
Enter the Stowaway...

Pros: Compact, durable, clever James Bond-ish design Cons: Must be used on hard surface, does not replace stylus
When my Palm Keyboard arrived, I was immediately impressed by the simple, elegant design. It serves as its own hard case, measuring 5 inches long by a little under 4 inches wide. I find this too large for a pocket, but easy to slip into a coat pocket...

Pros: Size, Ease, No batteries to deal with, Feel, Look. Cons: With Palm Vx, not able to PPK and accessories at same time.
Ahhhhh...Palm and their wisdom of making small things useful....
I have been using the Palm Portable Keyboard for about 1 year now. I can say that I am almost completely satisfied. The "PPK", made by Palm, Inc. is a master of combining...

Pros: It Folds Up!, Compact, Durable, slick look and design, plenty of useful keys Cons: No HotSync, folds in the middle
I got my folding keyboard in April after searching high and low for a place that had them in stock.
The keyboard is available for the Palm III, Palm V and Visors. The Palm III model can also be used by the Palm VII models. Be sure to look...
