The thing is - the keyboard is the same with a different connector. Why not just make an adapter or offer a $20 exchange service for new handhelds? Instead I have to add $100 to the cost of a M505 or Edge to realize the full cost of switching, which is obscene. That makes the new M505 almost $600 for me! I don't think so!

The prospect of buying a new keyboard is keeping me away from a new handheld. I use my VDx and Stowaway 4-5 times a week taking notes in meetings and in classes. The keyboard is not an accessory - it is absolutely necessary. When I occasionally run into a problem with keyboard and it locks, I have to quickly switch to graffiti. The results are pathetic - errors and such a difference in speed! I can sleep for 10minutes of lecture and 'catch up' in no time with the Stowaway. Targus, are you listening?

Stowaway keyboard availability

I just received this email from Think Outside concerning the availability of a keyboard for the Edge. It looks like we'll be waiting for a while.
