Universal Wireless Keyboard Coming Soon Palm Infocenter MARCH 28, 2002 The Pocketop Portable Keyboard has been designed to work with almost any handheld with an infrared port. It consists of a folding keyboard and a universal stand that has a small adjustable reflector. This reflects the infrared signals coming from the keyboard into the handheld's IR port and vice versa. It will be available soon for $120 with a $20 rebate. The stand is .25 inches think, is the same size as the standard black Palm flipcover, and can be carried attached to the keyboard or to the handheld. Folded, the keyboard is slightly more than half an inch thick and weighs 4.2 ounces. It also comes with a hinge that allows a Palm m500 series or V series user to connect their handheld directly to the keyboard. The Pocketop Portable Keyboard comes with software that lets the user rotate the handheld's screen 90 degrees and the handheld connects to the keyboard lengthwise. This hinge is strong enough that the two can be carried around connected together. For those who would prefer to not use the stand or hinge, the user can rotate the handheld's screen 180 degrees then put the handheld upside down in front of the keyboard. This allows their IR ports to connect directly. Visor owners can rotate the screen 90 degrees and and position the handheld sideways, which will line up the IR ports.
