A must have
To be totally honest I bought this product because I thought it looked nifty and would impress my work mates (which it did and still does). However, two minutes after opening the box the keyboard was installed and working like a dream. No messy installation, just pop in the disk, install the 25K software and sync the Palm, all done.The keyboard feels great to type on, like a high quality laptop and it beats the wrist ache I (and others) get from writing in graffiti all the time. It looks great and works pretty much perfectly, although I wasnt too impressed with some of the shortcut keys, they do the job but they cant operate the menus, a small price to pay as I just keep my stylus handy anyway. Since Ive had this I practically never use my laptop on the move because my Palm can do pretty much everything I need my laptop to do and is much smaller and easier to carry (i dont have to wait for it to boot either just to type up a document) In conclusion Id say if you have a Palm this is a must have, its certainly money well spent and Id be pretty much lost without it now.

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.

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..

Kodak PalmPix Camera

Ill make this one short but nice. Quality is not that good because sometimes it gets blured for some ubknown reasons, maybe its very sensittive to motion that even slight motion will screw it up. But some times its ok even if i move...no idea why. Another thing is that it shows wrong memory count. M..

Palm m100/m105 Hotsync Cradle
|
The Palm M100 HotSync Cradle. Its a cradle, which HotSyncs your M100; not much more you can really say about it. Oh, alright then. From a functionality point of view, it does nothing that the cable which comes with your M100 doesnt do already. You definitely dont NEED it, but its a nice accessory to..

Palm m100/m105 Stylus 3-Pack
|
Theres nothing too much you can say about this, really; three replacement styli, identical to the one which comes with your M100. The standard stylus for the M100 is pretty dodgy; too slim to hold properly without enough weight to it, but thats more an inherent design flaw with the unit itself as op..

Handspring Docking Cradle (Graphite) - (USB)
|
If you are looking at this product you already have a Visor in all likelyhood. You possibly use it, as I do, at more than one location, and would prefer not to have to carry your cradle with you, in that case, buy another, its as simple as that. You can even have one in graphite for looking professi..

Plug it in, press the buton, sit back and wait for the hotsync to complete. If you have installed pocket mirror, it will synchronise with Outlook. What can I say, it works...
