Detailed review
Though the market literature pines on and on about it -- somehow it's not immediately obvious that this is an IR keyboard, and not a bluetooth keyboard (which is just as well, the BT on the palms is fairly crappy).

The layout isn't really conducive to productivity -- the arrow keys are laid out oddly, and common tasks are hard to find the keys for. It's an add-on in the spirit of Palm - you just got shafted for whatever you paid for it.

I've used it once or twice, and it sits gathering dust in a corner of my desk. I manage to suffer through Graffiti2 instead of using this.
