Does anyone know who actually makes the palmOne Universal Wireless Keyboard?
Is it perhaps ThinkOutside or some other keyboard vendor? I'm finding that
palmOne support doesn't know anything about their product and wanted to try
to pursue other avenues, like the folks that actually make the keyboard.

Also, eventhough I just got the palmOne Universal Keyboard, I may want to
return it and get a different one. Is the Stowaway Infrared Wireless
Keyboard actually smaller? This was the one with just 4 rows of keys that I
think was the manufacturer of the original palmOne Infrared Wireless
Keyboard.

Any thoughts on keyboards in general would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I believe (though I could be wrong) that all of the PalmOne keyboards are
made by ThinkOutside. "Stowaway" is also a brand name of ThinkOutside.
Take a look at:

http://www.thinkoutside.com and look for your keyboard there. They have
pictures of all their keyboards, so it shouldn't be too terribly hard.

That's what I'm trying to figure out. It looks like ThinkOutside did make
the original palmOne Infrared Keyboard, but not the new palmOne Universal
Infrared Wireless Keyboard. I don't see a version on ThinkOutside's site
that has 5 rows of keys. Their keyboards seem to all be silver as well
instead of black, but obviously that isn't an issue. Their Stowaway IR
keyboard has 4 rows, is silver, and the IR arm is mounted on the right
rather than the left.

I wonder where palmOne is getting this keyboard... Belkin? Targus? Obviously
they didn't make it themselves b/c it supports Pocket PC's too. It has to be
someone else's design and drivers.
