They have been doing this $104 deal for a while now. What I did not know was that we have until January 31. Thanks for the update!

If it took them as lost as it did for the edge...

...You can expect your keyboard sometime in August. The Edge was March 01 release, Dec 01 stowaway

...here comes the token "Edge sucks and is dead," but the bottom line is that unless there is a critical mass of power users, thinkoutside can't afford to make keyboards that won't sell. So if you really want it, send them emails and tell your friends and your random strangers to send emails as well. 9 months was too long a wait for me, so I switched away from my blue wonder.

Uh, the T415 sucks and is dead. Unfortunately for Sony it's their new model.

What about Sony N Series?

I haven't followed keyboard news for a long while now, but does Stowaway have one for the N series?

Darn, I should hav checked their website before start "naging." hey do indeed have one for the N series.

But I have ore question . It seems that all the keyboard they offer have the same design. The only difference been the connector for different devices. If my assumation is correct, why can't they make a single keyboard with connector that have pins for all the functions of the board and simoly add adaptors to it to fit different devices?

That's what they are doing. The adapter is attached at the factory.

Exactly. Selling one version and allowing adapters to be purchased would cut their profit margin considerably. ThinkOutside may be the only company that actually LIKES the various connectors, because they have a pretty easy time when it comes to releasing new models for the new connectors. Which, of course, makes the wait for the Edge version seem even more criminal - I think they simply wanted to see how sales of the Edge proceed, and I bet they'll do the same with the T series. The m500 series and S/N series were no-brainers, but the T series might not be.
