Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
The LandWare GoType keyboard for the Handspring Visor enables you to enter text into your organizer with minimal setup time. Specifically designed for the Handspring Visor, it includes space for the Visor's Springboard modules. Although it shares many features with other GoType keyboards, there have been a few changes to the keyboard itself, including repositioned cursor and tab keys, and dedicated caps lock and num lock keys. Users may program up to six keys for quick access to functions. It comes with a cable for easy computer connection and includes a durable protective hood that folds down to cover the keyboard when it's not in use. It measures 10 by 4 by 1.5 inches, and weighs less than 12 ounces.

Product Description
The award winning GoType! Pro keyboard is coming to the Handspring platform. Like the original GoType! keyboard, GoType! Pro for Handspring does not require batteries or extra cables to operate and features a number of exciting new enhancements.GoType!'s rigid, field proven single piece design involves no complex moving parts and is unparalleled in its fast setup time: Just open the protective hood, drop in the Visor and start typing. That's it. No additional cable hookup is required. There is even accommodation at the rear for oversized Springboard modules. GoType! Pro has been custom designed from the ground up for the Handspring organizer. The keyboard includes intelligent software, which provides full compatibility with existing PalmOS applications, and allows you to access menu commands and shortcuts. Six function keys can be customized to provide one touch access to commonly used functions and applications.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty small keys, May 26, 2000
By John A. Radi "jradi" (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
I'm a much bigger fan of the Targus folding keyboard. For starters it folds into the size of a handspring. Second of all the Landware version's keys are incredibly small. The one feature benefit of landware is that it's a rigid design so it can be used on your lap - while the Targus version is very flexible and needs to be placed on a flat surface to type.

5.0 out of 5 stars Preferred over the Stowaway, September 3, 2000
By James A. Bezdan (Richmond, VA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I looked at both keyboards and wasn't as impressed with the Stowaway as much as the Gotype. The Gotype is a better value ($69 vs $99) since it comes with word processing software and a thesaurus, plus fuctions as a second cradle (even includes the USB cable). What suprised me the most was that I can type faster on the Gotype than I can on my PC, even though I have pretty big hands. The other plus is that it is stable and slightly inclined, where the Stowaway sits flat and tends to curl on the ends which causes it to bounce when you really get going. I have also seen/heard of the key caps popping off of the Stowaway, but I am told that in later shipments this was corrected. The only drawback to the Gotype vs. the Stowaway is storage compactness; the Gotype is a bit harder to carry around, though Landware does makes a case that allows you to carry both the Visor and the Gotype together. If you use your Visor the way I do, which is for everything that I can think of, especially extensive note taking, the Gotype is a must. Be prepared to attract some attention the first time you use it in public.

2.0 out of 5 stars Better than the Stylus / Lesser than the Targus, July 12, 2000
By George Ellis Corson IV (Corona , CA United States) - See all my reviews
I purchased 2 of these when I pre-ordered and thought it would be worth keeping both to share in the office. I was wrong. While the GoType for the Visor is faster to use than the stylus for straight entry, it was difficult to master the keyboard buttons that correspond to the PDA. It is also a little large to carry in a pocket, although a woman may get away with carrying it in her purse/backpack. At that point it loses the immediate practicality in my experience.

I also bought the Targus folding keyboard for a few dollars more when it was introduced, and that would be my Handspring-down choice. The Targus folds neatly into a suit-pocket appropriate size and has a roomy feel when extended for typing. I would say that the Targus is twice the keyboard for 10% more in price. Borrow a GoType to try and then buy a Targus to keep and use. You will definitely prefer the Targus.
