Slick Keyboards For iPAQs in UK Online Store
Here are some keyboards for the iPAQ that I haven't seen before. They seem to be made by a company called Saitek.
This is the "Mini Keyboard" and is about 34 pounds.
� Full QWERTY keyboard (Given the size, I think "full" in this context means it has all the letters unless it does some sort of blowfish expansion) 
� 4 PDA standard buttons
� PDA core function shortcuts
� Scroll wheel
� Rubbersied hand grips
� Folds into self contained case
� Compatible with Compaq iPAQ� 3800 � 3900 Series
This is the "Slimline Keyboard" and is between 34 and 42 pounds, depending on which iPAQ you have.
� Full QWERTY keyboard (this really is full sized, or at least as big as a subnotebook)
� 19 programmble keys
� Shortcut to international and number on-screen keypads
� D-Pad for enhanced screen navigation
� PDA slots into place to connect
� 4 PDA standard buttons
� PDA core function shortcuts
� Folds into a sleek,compact case
� CD with drivers included
� iPAQ 3100-3900 supported
Not sure if I like the keys - I like the tactile feel of a Stowaway - but these are both very stylish. Anyone own one of these?

Perhaps you ought to use the symbol � to denote pounds. For a minute or two, I actually believed that the keyboard weighed 34-42 pounds!

A Mini Gym as Well
Not only can you enter data into your PDA you also get a healthy workout carrying this small but heavy keyboard about.
Another cool feature feature is that, having a keyboard being made of lead, you can package your films inside to prevent damage from airport x-ray machines.
Actually I find the lack of a UKPound key a bit of a pain at times as well.
By the way, I think the slimline model looks pretty cool.

The Compaq foldable keyboard is about �94, MicroKeyboard �43 and the Stowaway is �78, so not that expensive, no. Would be interested to see if they were any good though.

I say leave it the way it is Ed... if someone tries to post a correction before they realize you're referring to cost, we can tease him mercilessly. :twisted:
It's kind of a neat idesign, but based on the pictures and write-up, I think one of the collapsable full-size keyboards would be more useful.

Does anyone know if the thumb board has a sticky Shift key? That's one huge thing missing from my Compaq-branded thumb board or the Sakar/iConcepts thumb board, or the other thumb boards I have tried. Anyone know if this one -- or any other thumb board -- has the "sticky" shift key like the Blackberry? THAT was a great thumb board.
