That's why the new <a href="http://www.thinkoutside.com/">wireless keyboard from Stowaway</a> has always interested me.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/adrian/stowawaywireless.jpg" /><br /> <br />I've never used or owned a wireless keyboard, so this new <a href="http://www.ipaqabilities.com/reviews_articles/reviews/0204-stowawaywireless.php">review</a> of the Stowaway keyboard on the iPAQabilities.com Web site is especially interesting. It is thorough and includes 14 great images that show how the keyboard works. At the end of the article, the pros outweigh the cons by enough that I'm even more tempted to get one now. <br /><br />If you've ever been interested in the Stowaway wireless keyboard, you've got to read the iPAQabilities review.

My first thought when I read this review was "I wish this review had come out a month ago!". A month ago I bought a Targus Wireless keyboard. On the whole, I'm reasonably happy with it, but there's one thing that's been driving me nuts. There are no arrow keys!

If I'd seen this review first I reckon I would have bought the Stowaway Wireless instead. Oh well. :|

Brad,

Do you know if this will work with the 4150? I'm just wondering if the unusual position of the IR on the 4150 presents a problem for using a wireless kb. I definitely like this one better than the others that I've seen so far.

That is a nice keyboard. I've been looking into getting one since a great free SSH client arrived....

I think I'd prefer the Bluetooth model that's in development.
