Has anyone tried a fold-out keyboard that is wider than Compaq foldable? I'm a touch typist and the Compaq keyboard is just too small to really type quicly. __________________ Rick Gomez - Owner/Consultant fiona Systems Integration www.fionasystems.com

I have one of the original Stowaway Keyboards by ThinkOutside for my iAPQ. I picked it up at CompUSA three weeks ago for US$29. I used one of the new Stowaway XT keyboards on a neighbor's Palm and couldn't stand the fact that there are no dedicated number keys. The size was amazing, and the feel of the keys was great, but I just hated the layout. The original Stowaway is larger, but much more comfortable to type on.

No kidding -- why not add the numbers? The keyboard would be a little deeper, but I can't believe the space saved is really worth the hassle of shifting for numbers.

Now for ThinkOutside, there may be a reason -- cost. I'm sure the fewer keys, the cheaper the product.
