4.0 out of 5 stars Logitech TypeAway Keyboard for Palm, January 2, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Logitech TypeAway Keyboard Ultra Slim Folding Kybrd for Palm (Office Product)

I basically like this little keyboard because of its portability, price, and feel. It's small enough to fit in my pocket and very cool to use. You have to remember to fold down the small brackets in front of the keyboard. The keys have a nice feel to them. My only criticism is that it is not quite a full size keyboard. Though the keys are full size themselves, the spacing between the keys is not quite like a full size keyboard. However for my purposes, light typing, a short report, or a letter, it's fine. I hotsync my documents to my computer, save, and print them out with "Documents to Go," and there you are.
An addendum: You have to make sure your hands have the proper support and the proper angle when typing or else you'll wind up with tingling hands and possible pain. You have to take breaks, stretch your hands, type for a short while, etc.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not compatible with Palm OS 5, May 15, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Logitech TypeAway Keyboard Ultra Slim Folding Kybrd for Palm (Office Product)

Be careful, this keyboard is not yet compatible with Palm OS 5, so if you purchased for example the Palm Tungsten it will not work!

Got this email from Logitech (Thu, 15 May 2003 16:10:39 GMT):

The Palm Tungsten T has OS 5 while the Palm devices our keyboards currently operate on are using OS 4.1.
Unfortunately, the software that comes with our keyboards does not support Palm OS 5.

Generally, Logitech tries to have a new release of software for each product when a new Operating System is
released, although that is not always possible. We are currently working on supporting this OS; however, we cannotprovide a date for software availability. When developing software, new issues may be found that can delay the
initial expected release date. This is why Logitech does not give exact dates for software releases. Please visitour web site periodically for updates to software [URL]

3.0 out of 5 stars Also works with other models: Zire 71, etc, December 25, 2003

I have a Zire 71 (OS 5.2). This keyboard with the latest (last, as Logitech has announced that they are stopping development) driver works. It interferes with the predisplay of the camera image, but turning off the driver solves this problem. HotSyncing is a minor issue as well.

On the whole it's not perfect, but reasonable at the price.
