Update: West, one of our TreoCentral readers wrote and asked if the new Palm keyboard was compatible with the Treo 755p. The keyboard isn't listed in the compatibility section on Palm's Store site so I wrote a Palm representative to find out. Rosie very quickly and kindly wrote back and said that unfortunately, the Palm Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard is not compatible with the Treo 755p. Hopefully, if such a thing is possible, Palm will release a driver in the future to make the keyboard compatible with the 755p. Thanks West and Rosie!
Brighthand is reporting that Palm is now offering a new Bluetooth keyboard. The Palm Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard is compatible with the Treo 650, 680, 700p, 700w/wx, 750, Tungsten E2, and Palm TX.
This new keyboard has rounded edges compared to the sharp corners of the Palm Universal Wireless Keyboard. It looks like Palm is going with the more curvy design in both the newer Treos and this new keyboard. It makes me think of how the squared edges of the Treo 650 compares with the rounded edges of the Treo 680 and 755p.
