No more Grafitti (yippee!) |

Definitely not an accessory for the casual user. If all you use your Palm for on the go is jotting down quick notes, and you have regular access to your desktop computer, you dont really need this. But this unit really comes into its own for people who are going to be travelling a lot. The Palm itself plus this keyboard take up substantially less space than a conventional laptop, but with a couple of appropriate applications loaded onto it, it can do just about anything you could need it to. Perfect for if you need to enter more than a few lines of text and you cant get to your computer (after all, you cant write for more than about ten minutes with the stylus before your hand starts to cramp up.) It might seem a bit steep, but think of it this way; if you buy the Palm itself and this keyboard, then youve basically got yourself a micro-laptop computer..

Nice gadget... makes the Palm more practical |

For those who dont like frantically tapping and scratching out graffiti characters, the foldout keyboard is a Godsend. Of course, youre reducing the portability of the unit a little... With the stylus alone, you can work from your seat on a train, with no table top available. If you want to use a keyboard regularly, consider a small laptop or a Psion as an alternative... Apple made a lightweight keyboard for the Newton, though, so this piece of kit has a good ancestry. A shame the Palm equivalent requires a software installation to operate - that was sloppy. (Expect battery life to suffer when using the keyboard, but with rechargeable batteries, it neednt cost the Earth to use.) All in all, three and a half stars. Uh, what the hell... four.
