I looked at the Palm keyboard online and it said that drivers for the Z22 are coming soon - I assumed that meant it WOULD NOT work with the Z22 - but it will? How does it work? Thanks - I hope I'm not asking too much...

I went to Circuit City first - no help (except to tell me to go to CompUSA). Thanks for all the help. - Jennifer V Much less of a newbie that last week.

I know the keyboard and the Z22 are incompatable, but I was wondering if there is a non-wireless keyboard for it because I am on a VERY limited budget. Thanks

The only keyboard I have found is this one: http://shop4.outpost.com/product/3598024 But it does not say the Z22 is compatible. But seeing as Jen has had her keyboard work from stowaway, should I assume that the keyboard will in fact work? Or can someone give me a list of the keyboards that do work with the Z22? Thanks a lot! Will any of these on this list work with the Z22? http://shop4.outpost.com/search?cat...&pType=pDisplay Last edited by Revelade : 09-18-2006 at 07:02 PM.

Kitten Registered User Join Date: Feb 2005 Posts: 203	Welcome to 1src! It doesn't look like the Belkin keyboard is compatible with the Z22. The Think Outside Stowaway Infrared Portable Keyboard should work just fine though. It's listed on Think Outside's compatability chart. You can get it cheaper at Amazon though.

Just wondering how this IR keyboard can be compatible with the Z22 if the Z22 doesn't support IR capability. I think that only physical connectors will work with the Z22?
