Upcoming iPaq Micro Keyboard
MobilePlanet is listing a keyboard as being available this week. I wonder if some of the HP Jornada keyboard designers were finally working on this one... however, it's not on HP's site yet.
"This remarkably small and lightweight keyboard fits seamlessly and securely to your iPAQ Pocket PC with or without an Expansion Pack attached. Redesigned to include the screen cover, this keyboard also features improved ergonomics and QWERTY layout for greater typing ease.
Compatible with the Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC h5400, H3900 and H3800 Series."

I have this on my Feb 14th things to do list! Oh yeah, and flowers. Is it me or do I see a red and green key at the bottom- as in Send/End?

I'm confused. The statement says:

If that's the case, then why are they mentioning the Expansion Pack?!!!

It's out in stores.
FYI: I saw this thing in OfficeMax on 2/10/02 so it is actually out. I didn't take a close look, though so I can't offer any info on it.

Way overpriced
Not just the keyboard, but look at some of the other items at the store. CF Plus expansion for $110. I bought mine for about $85. I hope some other retailers pick up this item. How much was it at OfficeMax?

It comes with a cover according to buy.com (as are the Plus Expansion Packs):

This looks almost identical (with styling update) to the Belkin SnapNType (mine cost $10 last month at their web store sale). The top-only view is very deceiving, the keyboard slips OVER the expansion pack/cover (that's where the cover comes in, its the one shipped with iPaq). From the side, the keyboard thickness is nearly 1" high, but it does type well and replicates the 4 covered buttons. But this approach is NOT exactly svelte.
