So what do you people think of the Cirque Pocket Keyboard???

http://www.cirque.com/products/pocket_keyboard.shtml

I really like the idea of an external keyboard for my Visor, but I just cant stomach the $100 cost of the Targus.

What do you people think of the Cirque keyboard? Has anyone be able to see one of these or test one out yet?
I understand that they are not out for sale yet, but perhaps one of you had an early peek.

Thanks...Josh

Acer has entered the PDA keyboard market. Check out this keyboard for the Palm V series. I don't think they have plans for a Handspring version yet. http://www.acercm.com/keyboard/new_keyboards.html

A used Stowaway. . . not a great idea. It's a great keyboard, but isn't the most durible. Buying it used may be a good deal, but it may also be a risk. . . [insert suspensful music].

I don't get the idea for the Cirque. It's larger than the stowaway (when folded) and isn't full size.

I'm waiting to check out a 'wraparound' keyboard that is even smaller than the Stowaway, but, I've used Stowaways with my old Palm VII and with my Prism.

The only criticism I have is that I think it's a little too rough on the plug-in part of the Prism.

wrap around keyboard

I just saw something yesterday about a wrap around Keyboard that is coming out this summer. Left the web address at the office and can't remember the company name; from the looks I'm thinking this will be ideal for me and more compact than the fold ups. Plus, by wrapping around, it is more like keeping up with one thing instead of juggling with two. Anyone got the name of that company? Really want to check out the web page -- thanks!

I found the flexible keyboard that I saw at Comdex 2000. It shows it here w/ps2 for PC but says Palm OS coming.
