As a writer, I am always looking for ways more my Palm PDA and a keyboard is an essential complement. They can be costly, however, so I'd been waiting a while to get my hands keyboard ultra - Thin Palm when I thought it was as special handler £ 30 ($ 52).
Aspect
When folded the keyboard looks like a short, squat metal slice of bread.It has a black round plastic high (the connector cover) which match position in Silver metallic body.This is the width of a height cartes.Fermé Pack and large-format paperback, it measures 5 5in x 3 9in x 0 5in (139 mm x 99 mm x 13 mm); open: 9 9in x 5 8in x 0 5in (251 x 148 x 13 mm) .the weighs 5.6 oz (160 g)
This is a snap.
To open it, press the black latch on the left side. The top opens and you can pull to the right to extend the keyboard. Connector cover takes to reveal the connector that integrates with Palm models with universal connector (Palm i705 Palm m125, m130, m500, m505, m515, Tungsten C Palm Palm Palm, Palm Tungsten E, Tungsten T, T2 Tungsten, Tungsten T3, Tungsten W, Zire 71).I used with a Tungsten t.
The underneath of the coverage of reverse up to become a rest for your Palm.Pour device connector attach keyboard placed connectors together gently .it's was RealShot everything first connection hooks are very small, but finally, I have blocked it.To undock, gently rock art front device.Yet again, it takes some getting used to, but I can quite easily do now.
To bend it yet once, slide back into place, black plastic release the locking on the upper right corner, tug lightly tab to the right until it lifts, and push the left and click into place.
The key to everything
The Qwerty keyboard is compact, with only four rows of keys.(A five-row version is also available.) The keys themselves are about the size of those on a portable computer and as a portable computer, each key on the keyboard Palm have double, triple or quadruple.Function keys in each side bar spacing (blue on the left, green on the right) split color match the colors on the individual keys, it is easy to work on how to access a particular symbol or a function.
Common punctuation marks and the numbers are on the first line.Common features of Palm are on the second line (access datebook, address, make and memopad on the left and servant, contextual, Favorites, and search on the right).Third shift a line either side, and a series of functions, most of them in blue (OK, done, cancel, details, edit, new, delete, note, send and up arrow.)The last three buttons are also included the euro, the yen and the functions in vert.La PG.préc last line has a control key on the left, followed by the command alt, FN (blue), split bar space, FN (green), left, bottom and right arrows and del on the right.
Installing the software
The keyboard is not a plug-and-play device.As I've found, try to use it to install the software started a hotsync.Si I would like to read the manual (included on the CD and available on the Palm), I could have saved myself the trouble.
Installation was simple, as is always with Palm.Use the accompanying CD or download the updated from the Palm website, which is what I have fait.Cliquez on installation file, then you will get a Palm.prc file for installation to the next HotSync.
Another option.
The keyboard installed program has options to change the key repeat rate and assign functions to the commande.Par example key, you can use the key command as application launchers by assigning a key combination (command more blue Fn a number).
In addition, you can change the keyboard layout (sorry UK users, only US English available, but you can also choose Dvorak, German and Japanese) as well as key clicks tabulation.Activation key enables you to hear that his familiar typing when you press the keys, but I decided that I could do without it.
There are differences between the keyboard with Palm OS 4 and 5 devices.In short, Palm OS 4 devices support a pointer and Palm OS 5 browser, served by the same arrows on the keyboard.
How does it work?
Keyboard worked everything suite.Toutes function keys work well, but above all I used it for input lines, access by pressing the buttons on the device itself current.real Palm applications and functions this way, I did not waste time thinking about the correct key combination for a particular function.
In use, it feels like a keyboard laptop, which means that it is fine for casual use .j's have used it to take notes in meetings and type stories on trains.
Ultra Thin keyboard has proven a valuable tool that I've upgraded to a Lifedrive and found that I should buy yet another keyboard to work with this model.(Why Palm keep this?)
The bottom line
Apart from the time that it took to address the opening and closing device (and not everyone will have this problem; my husband is certainly not, I have no complaints about this keyboard.)
It is a good buy if you have a Palm device more ancien.Rien of newer than a technology of tungsten and you may be preferable for the new Universal Wireless keyboard that, if not cheap, should work at least until that Palm redefines 'Universal' once more.
