Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard

thinkoutside.jpg
I just got my cool Think Outside Stowaway Universal Bluetooth Keyboard, and I love it. The MSRP is $150, but Amazon.com sells it for $91.

It folds up to a nice 5.5”H x 3.9”W x .5”D and weighs only 160 grams - it fits pretty nicely into a jacket pocket. It unfolds into a full sized 18mm spacing keyboard, and works great with Windows Mobile 5 (Windows Mobile 5 supports bluetooth HID proifle) .

T9 is great for a few sentences, but with this keyboard, my SP5m is now a full mobile email device when I need it to be. Plus it is great for mobile blogging - I used to do short little photo blogs, but I can now write a whole lot more in the same amount of time.

I've included the specs from the manufacturers site in the extended entry.
