Mini Keyboard for the Edge?

Hi All,

Does anyone know if there is a such thing as a mini keyboard for the Visor Edge? Or something like it - other then a full blown Stowaway keyboard?

Something that looks/acts like this:



Thanks

WOW someone replied! ANYONE Else know? I'd really like to take advantage of a nice thumbboard for the edge...but can't find one.

There is this:

Keyboard

But I'm not sure it is what you are looking for. I have thought about getting one, but I'm not sure how much I would really use it.

i'm reasonably certain that there were no thumb boards ever announced for the Edge. The other visors, yes, but none for the Edge.

That doesn't mean that i didn't miss reading about one though, but I'm pretty sure I didn't.

You could always send an email to some of the thumb board makers and see if they have any plans to make one.

Color too!

And hey... according to PalmGear, this may even add color capability to your Edge.

I also recall a case being made, where when flipped down, produced a small touch-type keyboard. I think it was the QPad, and VC did a review on it.

Hm.. that Cirque Keyboard doesn't really fit my needs. I'm trying to make a "make shift treo" with my Visor Edge and VisorPhone

I'd like the thumbboard style because I can use it while sitting in the airport and there's no need for a desk of any sort.

Then unfortuately, you're out of luck. No such 'thumbboard' has been made for the edge. That is what happens when the device gets bad reviews (mainly functions vs. price), though the edge is getting great reviews at it's current price.
