Looks cool

But I couldn't read much about it. I didn't want to download the japanese font.

Try going to http://world.altavista.com/ and paste the last link from above into the Website field, then select Translate from Japanese to English. It'll give you the gist of what the article says, and is pretty hilarious to read, too!

I saw a pretty cool flexible keyboard at Comdex 2000 that actually doubled as a pda cover. You wrap it around your pda and velcro secure.

I would have like to have tried that one. Must have gotten distracted by a free soccer ball and then forgot to return to the booth.

too bad.

I havent seen this kind of keyboard before, its pretty awesome. I have one of those folding keyboards that I love using but a little annoying to others when Im in the library. Does anyone know U.S. availability?

If the clicking is what's annoying in the library, you can turn it off in preferences, uncheck enable click sound.

Here is the link to the Comdex 2000 flexible board, shown here w/PS2 but says Palm OS coming.

flexis

I just saw this advertised on Brighthand, and went to their site. I don't suppose anybody has had their hands on one of these?

The website is www.man-machine.com, and we reviewed it : Here

All in all, it was good for occansional text entry but not for serious use; I prefer the stowaway.
