Palm Keyboard
Since reporting on the Stowaway keyboard recently, the subject of keyboards for Palms has been a hot topic in my mailbox. PFU America Inc have supplied the Happy Hacking Keyboard for some time, and it has recently been joined by the Happy Hacking Cradle. This is a small cradle for Palm devices, with a battery pack, a serial port extender, and, most important of all, a PS/2 type keyboard socket. It can be used on its own ($49) with any convenient PC keyboard that you meet in your travels, or, for a little extra (a total of $98 or $168, depending on the model of keyboard), comes with a Happy Hacking Keyboard, which is very compact. This requires you to install a small driver in your Palm to work, as with the GoType keyboard.
