New Palm Keyboard
from the keep-trying dept
Here's yet another attempt at making a keyboard for a palm device. This one is sort of a mini keyboard. I'm not sure if this beats the fold out keyboard that many people use, though it is a bit smaller. I still want to be able to just type in the air (or on a desk, or wall, or whatever) and have my keystrokes automatically transmitted to the handheld device. When is that coming?
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

japan has all the goodies
is under the bottom portion of the unit, which
slides out to reveal the keyboard.
Of course, the unit also has wireless connectivity
(and I'm talking useful stuff, not this wap shit,
or palm clippings)

Re: japan has all the goodies
As for full internet access, you can get that through PDAs right now -- try the Handspring with a VisorPhone and use Handspring's Blazer browser, full internet. (no WAP crap) -- it ain't fast, but it us available.

Re: japan has all the goodies
these little devices, you spend a great deal more
time looking/scrolling/typing than you actually spend downloading information, which means paying by the minute for the connection is ridiculous, not to mention the huge set-up time for making the connection.
The DoCoMo phones I looked at in Japan didn't seem to have this problem. Hence, people were more likely to do some quick lookup, etc.
I'll have to look for it when it comes to the states... but since I never use my palm anymore ...
