Comments on: Review: SnapNType T101

TT Tech Limited makes SnapNType mini-keyboards for several types of handhelds. The T101 is for the Visor series. It clips onto the bottom of the device, covering the hardware buttons as it does so, and allows the user to type with their thumbs. It doesn't require a battery. Long-time reviewer Rob Zach has this review.

Tomorrow we'll have Rob's review of the SnapNPlay from TT Tech, which gives the Visor GameBoy-like buttons.

 Wow, i really thought it was the best amongst the 3

Oh c'mon.

If you've got Blackberry envy or a Graffiti learning disability, this is a quick, cheap hardware fix.

PIC's already reviewed the Seiko Thumboard for the m500 series:

Got 1/2 point less in Design, but is 1/2 point higher in Coolness. It also got 3 stars Overall, so I guess they're about the same.

 Maybe Palm should make PDAs with a built-in keyboards

I'm not big on Grafitti. I have silkyboard and I would never go back. Handspring's Treo is offering a keyboard model, it would be interesting to see in a couple of weeks or months which model is more popular (with grafitti or the blackberry style keyboard).

 Where's the review for the T111 for the M500 series?

The link at the beginning of the article is for this article, not the T111 article.

I did a search and can't find the review you are referring to.

Where?

 Did you try the new driver for T101

Regarding the driver software, TT Tech had posted a latest version in their web-site which had already fixed the problem of manual enable and disable.

 Compatibility Issue

I love the Snap-N-Type keyboard, but the reason I purchased it was to send e-mail and use AOL IM with a keyboard instead if Grafitti (which is impossible). Unfortunately, the keyboard and my Omnisky modem both access the Prism via the serial port. Oops... you can't have them both on at the same time. Kind of defeated the purpose. I have to compose my e-mails, then disable the keyboard and install my modem.
