I'm blown away by this technology - Treo Forums

I received my Think Outside "Stowaway Universal Bluetooth Keyboard", which I purchased from Everything Treo.

I am completely blown away by this technology.

When I received it, and saw it I thought "...no friggin way can this thing be this compact".

But...yet, it was. And, it was a breeze to set up and works great. I mean - one really doesn't get a sense for how compact this thing is until you hold it in your hands.

When folded, it can easily fit in a coat pocket. I bought the traveling bag to carry it - and even that thing is amazingly compact.

When unfolded, the key board is - well - it's just the perfect size for me - and makes it a breeze to type emails and text messages.

I also purchased the 2G storage card, screen protectors, extra long-life battery and charger, and the battery case with the hole in the back so I can do a soft re-boot without removing the battery cover - sweeeeet!

One mistake I made was getting the blue tooth mouse. I didn't realize that it wasn't compatible with the Treo. I'll keep it anyway - it might make a nice gift for someone.

Lastly - there were two things I purchased off site.

1 - Vaja leather case!

2 - Magnifico Magnifier

Now I know the Vaja is going to be great because of all the rave reviews. (should arrive next week)

I got the Magnifico so that when I'm using the Treo for extended periods of time, I won't get eye fatigue. My thought was using the magnifier when I'm using the keyboard for extended periods of time. The magnifier should also be arriving next week.

I'll let you know how it turns out.

=================

Correction to my previous statement. The blue tooth mouse DOES work.

What through me off was that in the packaging it didn't list the Treo as supported. But in the advertisement it said it was supported. So, I uninstalled the keyboard driver - put the mouse cd in my PC - downloaded the updated keyboard/mouse driver - discovered the devices - and WHAM - both the keyboard and the mouse work at the same time...amazing!
