Couldn't find it after searching. Do any of the 3 compatible keyboards for the T3 allow pass-through charging? BTW, I have a fellowes kb for my clie and I can charge while I type. It's basically a rebranded stowaway xt.

I am still looking for it but does anyone know if a Thumboard which was purchased for a m515 will fork with my new T3???
I figure I would need drivers and will start my search for them.
But what's the sense if the mold is different and it wont even fit on.
Thanks

Sorry, no experience with the Thumboard. However, I am using the Palm Ultra Thin keyboard which I got with my TT. It works fine with the same driver. I suspect that the Thumboard would not have any problems too! Good Luck, Tim.

I don't believe any of the Palm branded Stowaways allow pass through charging. I know for certain the non IR one does not allow it, and since the IR one does not use the universal connector I acnnot see how it would be possible.

I use the Ultra Thin keyboard too. Although i don't know if it allow pass through charging, it does seem like that the keyboard will suck "a lot of" power from the unit.

The wireless one doesn't have a way to do passthrough charging either. That goes for both landscape and portrait modes. The way the T3 sits on the keyboard cradle, I cant see how you'd recharge it there

It's too bad that none of them provide pass through charging. It's strange that the stowaway xt for clie has pass through charging. This is essentially the same keyboard from ThinkOutside. I wonder whay they took the functionality off the Palm KB....

I think that Clie Stowaway XT was the only model that ever had pass-thru charging.

And don't forget that Stowaway took the cursor off the keyboard driver as well.

Some things just don't make sense :(

I'm wondering should I get the ultra think kb or normal portable kb :confused:

Ok does anyone know if my old PPK for my m5xx series Palm will work with my T3???
Do I need an app?
Drivers?
If so where can I find them?
Thanks

What about Bluetooth keyboards? Would any of them work on a T3? Are there any portable or somewhat portable keyboards available?

Better yet...
What about software that would allow you to use your T3 screen as a touch pad / mouse for your computer or any computer that had the capability to receive a bluetooth signal???
Now we rare getting somewhere!!!
Talk about multi tasking hardware.
