Stowaway Keyboard 2.0 Drivers Finally Released - Windows Mobile 2003 Compatible
I received a tip from someone at Think Outside last night that the new drivers were going to be released today, and sure enough, "Driver (v2.0) for Pocket PC 2002 & 2003" is shown on their support page. Many of us have been waiting for this (myself included), and I'm very pleased to see this finally be released. I just wish it had been two months ago... :roll:

YAAAAAAAAAAAY! Oh my God, but this is going to make my life better. Thank you very much, Jason, for alerting us to this update.
That development team deserves a case of beer or a cake or something. I tried not to rage, but to just be patient. And it paid off: they didn't just deliver a cobbled-together patch but a whole new driver and interface.
Oh. But it makes a silly typing noise. I must figure out how to make that go away.
Update: Turning on and off the sound is available in "Options", accessible from the input selector on the bottom-right of the screen. I know this because ThinkOutside has updated the manual, too! Well done.

So does the Stowaway XT (the really tiny one) work with the iPaq 2200-series? I see on the home page that it lists the iPaq under the Stowaway XT on the left column, but if you click on "iPaq" it doesn't do anything. I would imagine that the connector would be different, so there would need to be an entirely different model. Not to mention that the original XT has a Palm logo on it, right?

Man... I was starting to wonder if my old Stowaway keyboard was going to turn into a large paperweight.
Thank goodness they didn't forget about us.

Very nice! Notice that the UP/DOWN arrow keys work on your word completion menu. 
Too bad it doesn't automatically swtich between the Stowaway and your preferred keyboard SIP when you dock, but that is a pretty small issue.

Thanks for pointing this out! I have been waiting for this so that I could use my 5550 without having to soft-reset it every time or having to edit the registry time and again. Ed, the keyboard accelerators work great in Textmaker! :rock on dude!:
