Default The Chainpus SmartPhoneMate Bluetooth Folding Keyboard

http://www.engadget.com/entry/4833063427551486/



While I normally try to stay away from products that contain the word "pus", this one actually looks appetizing. If the specs and pictures are correct, this keyboard includes the one thing that keeps me from buying one of the Dell or ThinkOutside keyboards; namely, a number row. Huzzah, Chainpus! Keep the price around $100, and you've got yourself a customer here. Specs are a bit thin, but I can confirm that it supports the Pocket PC, has 10 customizable keys, supports English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese, and should not be stored anywhere hotter than 70 degrees celsius, which unfortunately excludes all of you volcano-dwellers out there.

I've never quite understood that. Seriously, adding a number row doesn't take up that much space.

While like a number row as much as the next guy, I'd probably buy whichever one is smaller. That is, if I ever get around to buying a Pocket PC, Smartphone, or Handtop PC with Bluetooth...

This may be the BT keyboard I finally buy. I've tried thumboards with no dedicated number keys and the conclusion I came to is I need five rows on a keybaord.
