Pocketop Keyboard Review SEPTEMBER 12, 2002 The Pocketop cordless keyboard uses an infrared beam of light to interface with your PDA's built-in infrared port. But the innovation doesn't stop there. The keyboard comes with a hinge that lets you attach the folded closed keyboard directly to your PDA, making everything easier to carry as a single unit. Also included is a small stand so you can position your PDA at a proper viewing angle. Since the infrared receiver of most PDAs is usually positioned on its side, the stand includes a small mirror so the Pocketop's infrared beam can be detected. Opening the keyboard at its center hinge reveals a nice size keyboard with keys that travel with a solid touch. Some keys also sport blue lettering that identifies them as special function keys. These correspond to extra PDA functions so you don't have to keep reaching for your stylus. But one of the nicest features is the included software that lets you orient the PDA horizontally in a landscape position so that you have more characters per line than you would normally with the PDA propped in its vertical position. In fact, the software lets you rotate the PDA at 0, 90, 180 or 270 degrees. The Pocketop weighs in at a mere 4.2 ounces and is about a half inch thick. Pocketop says you can expect six to nine months of use from the one AAA battery needed to power the keyboard.
