Folding Keyboard

[dadarkmcse]

Hi,

Well, people are asking me what I want for christmas (already) and since I know i'm going to be grabbing an XDA II, I'm asking for accessories. Does anyone know of a folding keyboard (not thumb style - can't stand those) that would work with an XDA II?

Thanks.

targus has this GREAT fold keyboard, almost full size (more like laptop size) hard case, and uses IR to connect, no direct connect...
so basicaly, you can use it on ANY pda/xda... via the InferRed ;)

I read something about the XDA's infrared not being "Consumer" IR (i.e. you couldn't control your tv with it as remote). What exactly does Consumer IR mean, and would that effect this keyboard?

thats not true!!
tho it may not have the same RANGE as a regular remote control
i use it to control my tv, vcr, sat ....

and, i use the keyboard as well!
u DO have to disable the RECEIVE ALL BEAMS from control panel.
but that dont effect the keyboard OR the remote control programs
