Pros: Colapsable, Extremely Portable, Fully Functional Cons: $99.95
The Stowaway Keyboard is the best user input alternative available. This foldable, portable keyboard has everything the traveling worker needs. Unlike its counterparts (GoType and Twiddler), the Stowaway is a fully functional keyboard with a...

Pros: I GOT MY MONEY BACK Cons: didn't work and tech support is not at all helpfull
When I was at Best Buy doing my weekly visit, I saw this. This keyboard was brand new and far out to me. I was just thinking, this would make my life easier. Well it just made my life a living hell.
From day one it didn't work. I brought...

Pros: Cute, small, tries to fill a gap in functionality. Cons: Needs flat surface, one more thing to carry, never really necessary.
I had a chance to try this cute little keyboard and decided against purchasing it.
It's a great idea to provide an easier way to enter text into a Palm. Grafiti is tricky to learn (I still forget some letters after months of use). But...

Pros: Full size keys, Extremely compact when folded Cons: No built-in recharger and serial (Hotsync) ports, Doesn't work so well on non-flat surfaces.
Note : This review typed on the Palm Portable Keyboard
My first impression is : It's so small! It's just about the size of a Palm V in a hard case.
The package comes with a CD containing the driver and a cloth zip case....

Pros: Easy to carry, Fast data entry Cons: Slightly undersized, Tighter integration with OS would be nice
I love taking notes at meetings, and being able to review those notes later. Enter the stowaway. I fold up the keyboard, take it with me to meetings, unfold it, and type away.
In addition to being one of the most useful productivity...

Pros: Fast entry of text, light weight Cons: Software doesn't let you drive applications from the keyboard
Palm Keyboard Evaluation
Overall: the keyboard is a major leap forward for Palm users. I typed this review on my Pilot in maybe 5% of the time it would have taken otherwise. However, modifications to the key assignments would be useful to help...

Pros: Feather-light, and elegant eye-catching work of beauty. Cons: Won't work on an uneven surface, despite the fact that you'll want to use it everywhere.
From the moment that I saw this marvel of engineering, I knew that I had to have it. The sleek metal case that perfectly matched my Palm V was just the beginning... the farther you travel into this little marvel, the more you have to love it.

Pros: Writing emails, notes, one-touch access Cons: none yet
There are times in my job when only a laptop will do. Powerpoint presentations, detailed record modifications in my contact software, and the like. 90% of the time, all I need to do is write a few emails, edit a contact's information, or take a few...

Pros: Fold-Up is awesome, Works with all my Palm software, Special function keys incorporate Palm functions Cons: Everyone interrupts my work to ask me about the keyboard
I changed jobs recently and now I no longer have a laptop. After my first business trip or two, I had to figure out how to make myself more productive on the road. So...
I tried the new Stowaway Portable Keyboard. This is absolutely the...

Pros: very small, very portable Cons: it's still another thing to carry...
DrDaveC's review pretty well covers the keyboard's capabilities. The only thing he didn't mention is that there's a slight delay between keypresses and the character appearing on the screen. Some people have complained about it; only a few are really...

Pros: Makes using your palm much more easier Cons: Expensive
I recently purchased a keyboard for my Palm VIIx. The keyboard is an excellent addition to my palm system. The question is.... Is it right for you?
I think the Palm Keyboard is essential for Palm.net users. If you use your palm for email...

Pros: Full sized keyboard that packs tiny is perfect for travel Cons: None
I travel quite a bit for my Venture Capital fund, and for the last few years I've lugged a laptop wherever I went. Over time, however, I started to realize that all I really wanted to do was to check and respond to email, and have my calendar and...

Pros: Palm keyboards are an absolute necessity! Folding keyboard has a good Wow factor. Cons: More expensive than competition, tends to slide when typing (rubber footings are weak)
Firstly, anyone with a Palm device needs a keyboard. I believe this is a given. I have to shake my head at all of those people taking notes on paper with a Palm in their pocket. If you take your notes on your Palm they get saved on your computer where...

Pros: Small, Convenient, Driver is very good Cons: Has to be on a table and keys aren't that pleasant to type on
Overall, I like the Palm Portable Keyboard. Compared to the GoType from Landware (Which I own too), it is a lot smaller. There is a problem to that...When you want to type in the car, or on your lap, or where ever there isn't a flat surface, you can't. I...

Pros: Excellent concept, and works good Cons: Doesn't save you space, perhaps
I bought one just a little while ago, and for sure for about a week it was just amazing, I could take all my notes and check my e-mail, and create e-mail to my boss. It was really convenient, or so I thought, until I realized, like a for mentioned...
