Nice keyboard for the Palm PDA
Why write a review on a product so old? Because I still use the old PDA, until my wireless telephone provider lets me upgrade my phone. This sleek keyboard works through the IR port on the Palm. The keyboard buttons are a little small and the space key is split. It takes some getting used to but the keystrokes are accurate. It 'converts' the PDA to a tiny 'laptop'.

Set up takes about 30 seconds to open the case, lock the keyboard and pull the stand. Then you take out the metallic supports for the PDA. It is stable and the PDA does not rock. Software driver loads on the PDA to activate it. There is a conflict when the driver is activated and you surf the net on the PDA.

Other than that, I recommend this item. That is, if you still have a Palm. Ha Ha!
