Care for a keyboard?

Posted By: @tomic212 Tuesday, November 2, 1999 7:05:26 AM

A company called PFU released the Happy Hacker cradle that allows you to use a standard PS/2 keyboard with your palm device. On a similar note Microsoft released this keyboard for use with CE and windows desktop machines. ZDNet has an article for further reading on the keyboard device.

Why would anyone want to carry a full size keyboard around with them to take notes with on a Palm III? The point is portability, right? Even if you elect to buy a smaller PS2 keyboard to plug into this device, how is that better than a GoType? Anyone see something good that I don't?

Maybe...

I think the idea here is that you could take the cradle with you and use a keyboard that's already at your destination (at your workplace, for example).

Full size keyboard dimensions yet it folds in four to about the size of a Palm III. Will do Palms and Visor (CE's a little later).

There are plenty of programs for the Palm that don't have a sister program on the desktop to sync with. In this case being able to use a keyboard is easier than Grafitti.
