Q-Pad Combines a Case and Keyboard in One
tDevice has begun offering the Q-Pad for Palm m500 series, which combines the functions of a protective leather case and a keyboard. The case is reinforced with steel and is about 3 by 5 inches and less than one inch thick with the handheld inside. Opening the case reveals a QWERTY keyboard with 60 keys. The Q-Pad is available now for $70.
For text input it has a regular keyboard, numeric keypad, navigation keys, symbol keys, eight programmable hot keys, four special keys, and a command key.
The Q-Pad includes a spring-loaded hinge that flips out to hold the handheld up at about 40 degrees. The keyboard uses power from the handheld so no additional batteries are necessary.
tDevice also offers versions of the Q-Pad for the Palm V series and Visor Edge.

"Develop a Q-Pad with a good belt clip and a HotSync/re-charge port and I'll never go back to a plain PDA."
I guess from that is that doesn't have the ability to PASS THROUGH.
Oh well....

Someone with a m5x pilot.
I currently have a USRobotics PalmPilot Pro circa 1997. Although I plan on upgrading soon, it has served fine for 5 years. I would imagine plenty of people will find the 100,000's of m5x series pilot adequate for years to come.
I suck...
Sucking.
Adequately Verbalized.

Anyway, this thing doesn't look like it needs to be used on a desk or table, not while walking around or other circumstances. Unless that's a really string hinge...anyway, not terrifically useful to me, though an interesting idea.
Very telling...
