Some Operation Gadget readers may remember that I’m currently reviewing the H-P iPAQ H6315 with service from my friends at T-Mobile USA. I was up at Camp Johnsonburg with about 10 members of my wife’s family this weekend for a real getaway (peace and quiet, no TV, no driving, and no wired Internet).
You might imagine that I cheated a bit by turning on the GPRS service and checking my email once in a while. (I can see Kathleen rolling her eyes when she reads this.) The iPAQ performed well, and kudos to T-Mobile for having coverage for both voice and data in the hinterlands of New Jersey’s Warren County.
Anyway, I was thinking during this time that the snap-on keyboard for the iPAQ H6315 is nice, but a larger keyboard would be nicer for the stuff I was then doing. When I got home, I looked around and found that one of the better choices available for this is the Think Outside Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard for Pocket PC. Amazon.com has a nice deal on it at the moment, a 39 percent discount bringing the price down to under $100.
I’m pretty sure that I would have been drummed out of B Lodge if I’d whipped a Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard out for some more aggressive wireless Internet access, but it’s nice to know that you can get an accessory like this at a considerable discount from the List Price.
