Conclusion

The ThinkOutside Stowaway Bluetooth keyboard is a neat, useful gadget, though it has a learning curve to get the hang of both opening and closing it, and just typing on it. But its laptop-sized keys trump its competition. And, it doesn’t ship with the right PalmOS drivers. But it’s definitely a contender for anyone who needs something better than the Treo’s thumb keyboard, and it looks wicked too! In fact, this sleek keyboard is featured in the Design Collection at The Museum of Modern Art in New York City, which is quite an honor, and that’s not something you can say about most comparable accessories.
