  Strengths: It works with most Palm products, including my Treo.Beats the heck out of the Treo keyboard when typing long chapters.Geek girls dig it.

  Weaknesses:If you've got big hands, as I do, then the key spacing can be a bit tedious.

  Overall Evaluation: Overall a sturdy keyboard that's well worth the price paid through retailers on Pricegrabber. As far as the AAA batteries go, I suggest you go with rechargable. I'll be glad to see how long the current ones last but I imagine given the device type it will go for quiet a while.

  Strengths: Easy of use. Compact but still fullsize, no like other wimpsy keyboards that feel like toys. So far battery life is great.

  Weaknesses:Can't lock the center so can't be used on your legs. PDA can't be recharged while typing.

  Overall Evaluation: This keyboard works all the time, every time. I use it at school to type all my classes. I can wear out my battery but the keyboard will keep working and I can keep typing away until the last moment. It is very comfortable to write on and I can control 99% of the functions on my palm zire 72 with out having to use my stylus. The keyboard has programable keys and it is easy to get used to the key combinations. I'd say that it's a lot of bang for your buck. If you are a student or a professional on the go and do not want to carry a laptop this is your best bet.

  Duration of ownership: 2 Weeks

  Strengths: Very portable, comfortable to use, interfaces well with the Palm OS, infrared arm can be put at a variety of angles

  Weaknesses:Difficult to charge Palm Pilot while using keyboard, short retaining bar, Palm Tungsten E sometimes has to be prompted to recognize that the keyboard is there

  Overall Evaluation: I purchased this wireless keyboard for the purpose of taking notes in class on my Tungsten E, and I have been really pleased with the outcome. It is convenient and it is certainly is better than lugging around a laptop. I quickly adjusted to using a small keyboard and now I prefer it to the keyboard on my desktop. Some issues exist with the Tungsten E recognizing the keyboard if I remain idle for a number of minutes and the palm pilot shuts itself off. Sometimes it will immediately recognize the keyboard and sometimes I have to go under the keybaord icon and check a box that tells the Palm to "Detect Wireless keyboard." It is also difficult to charge the Tungsten E while using the keyboard apparatus. To solve this problem, I put a piece of velcro on the far left hand side of the Palm holder on the keyboard, and a piece on the back of my Palm. This allows the Palm Pilot to sit far enough off the keyboard to insert the charging cable. This may be necessary in my three hour classes with my rechargeable Palm battery. I like the use of the dual function keys on this keyboard and quickly adapted to using them. It is also possible to program the keys to perform certain functions on the Palm Pilot. I am very happy with this purchase.

  Strengths: It's a good keyboard, surprisingly easy to type on. The IR feature is nice, and it's very compact when folded

  Weaknesses:If your PDA is attatched to a protective case, it's tough to balance it on the keyboard

  Overall Evaluation: I highly recommend this keyboard because of the IR feature. The different keystrokes are tough to get used to (the keyboard has 4 rows). Next time I might go for the 5 row keyboard, but this is a good product for a good price.
