if by "Tosibiba" you mean Toshiba, then there are 2 options to my knowledge. first - http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=PA860. it's a british version of a keyboard for the toshiba (and audiovox maestro). apparently targus has no intentions of releasing this to the u.s.

another option is to get a keyboard that works by IR port. that should work with your Toshiba e570 as well.

Woops a little too many mistakes in that post.
Yes, toshibiba is TOSHIBA.

and I like the idea of a Infrared Keyboard..Know where to get one?

for an IR keyboard - http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=289678

that's the only one i found at compusa.

one concern, though. the IR port is on the side of the e570. I don't know where the IR port on that keyboard is, though, but it it's on the top of the keyboard, then you end up having to type at a weird angle. If the keyboard is at a normal orientation to you, then the e570 would have to be sideways. see the crude attached jpg file.

Mobigeeks just posted some links to a WiFi keyboard. Wouldn't have to worry about aligning the ports like with IrDA. Probably would work better on the e740 with integrated WiFi though.

hm....the wifi thing seems interesting.

about an IR keyboard, check out the pocketpcthoughts.com homepage, with somebody's review of an IR keyboard. it seems that it works with mirrors to get an ok angle and line of sight. seems weird and complicated, but could work if you don't have integrated wifi (like e570).
