Product Description:

The Targus Stowaway Portable Keyboard is the world's first full-size keyboard that fits in your pocket. It allows you to type text into your Handspring Visor anywhere- in a cab, airport lounge, a meeting, or in flight - then folds up instantly to the size of your hand-held computer. No longer do you have to rely on frustrating 'handwriting recognition' software to enter data. You can now type email, take notes, and create faxes just as easily as you would using a full-size keyboard. Setup is a snap: Simply open the Stowaway to full size, pop your Visor into the built-in docking station, then type. No need for batteries or cables - the Stowaway works off your handheld's power supply with minimal energy drain. When you're finished just unplug and tuck it away into your pocket or purse.

A great purchase. I would recomended it.2008-12-16
The keyboard works very well, it is nice to have a full size keyboard when you need it.
Good keyboard2004-10-19
I've had this keyboard for over 2.5 years now and it still works great. I used it to take notes on my Ipaq all through law school. It is compact enough to slip into a small pocket in my backpack. It sets up and docks in no time.
The best feature is the keystroke action. The keyboard is full-size and types beautifully. I would prefer it to most laptops I have typed on.

Having hotkeys programmed and programmable to launch individual programs is nice. The only improvement I would like to see would be support for MS Word type hotkeys such as Ctrl-U for underline and Ctrl-I for italics. Cut, Copy, and Paste (Ctrl-x,c,v) hotkeys do work, however.

3900 adapter2003-06-12
Inside the package the adapter was missing. I made contact with customer service on targus.com, they sent me the adapter free of charge and deliver it for me to Costa Rica, where i live!, Great service!
No keyboard is better!2003-04-12
I had one of these for my first PDA which was an IBM Workpad, and no other keyboards compare. I currently have a Compaq 3955 and was very pleased to see the keyboard already comes with the adapter (the product description says you have to request the adapter separately from Targus)!

I tried a wireless keyboard, but I had to turn off my infrared port, enable the wireless input, then turn my PDA upside down so it could communicate with the keyboard. Other keyboards were shaped funny and didn't feel too natural. I quickly tired of all this and decided to go back to the Targus Stowaway. Amazon has a great deal and I got this at almost half the price it would have cost at the store.

This is still the best keyboard in my opinion.
