I know there is a keyboard for NR, but is there a keyboard for NX and if not, is Sony or any other company planning on releasing one? Thanks.

PS. are there any keyboards for the clie in bestbuy?

DUDE! The targus wireless works for me.

There are some issues with it, most specifically the split spacebar, and the need to download a driver to run on os5, but overall it works fine and it's not too expensive and I like mine. I got mine from amazon.com with free shipping for 65 odd dollars. Here's the targus web site: http://www.targus.com/

I went to this site: http://www.infosyncworld.com/news/n/3544.html
I read it. It says these Stowaway XT were supposed to be available in May (this is June). I went to the Fellows site, nothing is listed even today.
Then I went to the Think Outside website also today, & the compatibility for the Stowaway XT is listed as:
Palm M125/500/505/515/m130/i705/Tungsten

I have been waiting since December 2002 for a keyboard for what I am beginning to think is a piece of junk I own, the NX70V. I run a business using PDAs & I need a keyboard for them.

I think the only manageable solution to this keyboard fiasco is that wireless one.

I am REALLY beginning to dislike Japanese companies, this is apparently how they are getting back for WWII.

I just got the Targus Wireless and love it. Has a nice, solid feel to it.

Sure can...

Do I trust any corporate culture, do I trust Japanese corporate culture???

No.

well, I don't trust most corporations as well, particularly when the almighty dollar is their driving force...but to say that the Japanese are getting back at us for WWII by making PDAs that don't work with our keyboards--that's a bit silly. We all like to whine about incompatibilities between our toys, but don't start bashing an entire culture. Remember, if it weren't for Sony, you'd have a 3com Palm in your hand, and we know which company makes the better PDA, don't we? :)

"3com Palm"

No offense, but tossed that in the garbage 1st day (tried to be trendy in 1999).

I'd have a Strongarm Newton before one of those (which I had before, anyway starting 1997. Up until this year, faster than any Palm including Sony (160 mHZ processor in 1997) . Greenscreen yes still did videos & .jpgs), but that was the only thing & color not necessary for many types of businesses (mine). Had my 128 MB flash/PCMCIA on it too in 1997. Still have it & it works.

Not bashing an entire culture (I did say corporate), just the corporate one. :)

Not particularly an Apple person either, this is written on a Dell (with Windows). I call it as I see it.
