Summary: 3900 adapter
Review: Inside the package the adapter was missing. I made contact with customer service on targus.com, they sent me the adapter free of charge and deliver it for me to Costa Rica, where i live!, Great service!

Summary: Techno-Origami at its finest!
Review: There's nothing like pulling out your Stowaway Keyboard and unfolding it in front of someone. Their eyes will pop out of their heads. It is an instant conversation piece and is practical to boot!

I wish I used it more often. It saves time whenever inputting information into your Visor.

The only gripe I have is that it would be even better if you could somehow lock the central hinge so that it would remain solid and you could easily and comfortably use it while on your lap.

Summary: No keyboard is better!
Review: I had one of these for my first PDA which was an IBM Workpad, and no other keyboards compare. I currently have a Compaq 3955 and was very pleased to see the keyboard already comes with the adapter (the product description says you have to request the adapter separately from Targus)!

I tried a wireless keyboard, but I had to turn off my infrared port, enable the wireless input, then turn my PDA upside down so it could communicate with the keyboard. Other keyboards were shaped funny and didn't feel too natural. I quickly tired of all this and decided to go back to the Targus Stowaway. Amazon has a great deal and I got this at almost half the price it would have cost at the store.

This is still the best keyboard in my opinion.

Summary: This Is A Must!
Review: I've had my PDA for over a year and recently decided to really get into it. I decided that writing, though a cool function within itself, could be irritating if you had to write alot of notes. I decided to buy the keyboard at a local office supply store. I was very impressed. I wrote Targus because I thought the power supply extension wasn't included (it was "hidden" in the fold of one of the edges-look for it!). They immediatly wrote back and asked me for my shipping information. Let's see if I receive it.

Be careful when opening the area that you dock the PDA into. It can be rather fragile and come off. However, it went back into place and still functioned. One more piece of advice. I got this device for less through Amazon.com. I did notice, however, that they like to move the price up and down alot so you may want to keep your eye on things.

Summary: What a Great Product!
Review: I didn't purchase the Stowaway Keyboard with my first Visor purchase, and tried to become accustomed to the graffiti text but to avail. I only used it for the Address Book and Date Book features because trying to write a memo became an arduous task using the stylus. My Visor gathered dust until I read a review in my Writer's Digest Magazine, that gave a thumbs up for the Stowaway Keyboard for writers on the go. I purchased an upgraded Visor that came as a package deal with the Keyboard and then purchased QuickOffice, which is a word processing software compatible with MS Word and Excel, and I've been using the Stowaway and my Visor for writing ever since, and its a godsend! I take it with me everywhere I go! When I get an inspiration for writing I type away! I use it for journal notations, for a novel I'm currently writing and for just prose when the ideas come to me. Now my laptop has become my home computer and my Visor & Stowaway have become my laptop. I love the command keys you can program, the minimal battery drain using the keyboard, everything! If you write as much as I do, this is a must! I highly recommend this product!

Summary: Visor Edge
Review: I transitioned from a Franklin Planner to a Visor Edge PDA.

I got my keyboard yesterday, and installed the software for the keyboard as soon as I got into the office, and took it to my first meeting of the day. One of my co-workers has the same Visor Edge that I have, and was floored when he saw how easy it was to use the keyboard. He travels alot more than I do, and lugs a laptop around. He is buying one for himself ASAP.

I was able to take more detailed notes faster than I usually do, and was able to synch and share my notes via e-mail.

If you have ever considered getting a keyboard like this for your PDA, I wouldn't hesitate a moment longer.

Summary: frustrated plugging ipaq 3800/3900 adapter to keyboard?
Review: this is what I did...

1. removed the sticker label from the back of the adapter.
2. carved out thin plastic wall with exacto knife. area where sticker label was on.
3. now when I connect the adapter to keyboard. I can see how two metal pieces inside align together.
4.just tilt over and plug it in.

Summary: just to straighten out the record straight...
Review: adapter for compaq 3800 series and 3900 is being sold for nine dollars and ninety five cents at targus. fourteen bucks including shipping and handling. Someone wrote below he got three of them for free. they aren't doing it anymore.

Summary: I was thinking wrong... Hope people don't make same mistake
Review: well... I have Ipaq 3835. accessing online through activesync. when host computer is occupied by my wife, I use pocket pc to access online. I figure adding this keyboard will make it easier for chatting.
guess what... since pocket pc port is taken by keyboard there isn't way to make connection to host computer. I know it sounds stupid but it really didn't occur to me before I actually going through connections physically. I thought that I'm just adding a keyboard but didn't realize I'm replacing activesync connections for it.

Ideal would be, keyboard to have hook up port for activesync and power on the side that it replaces cradle all together (I might be asking for too much here)

I ended up purchasing compact flash expansion pack and CF modem to accomplish what I initially intended to do (online chatting on pocket pc with full size keyboard)

about hardware... it certainly is the best keyboard available today 1/20/03 for ipaq yet I can't say it's perfect.

keyboard really needs to be on a completely flat SOLID surface. if not, keyboard will bounce on every key stroke that you can't read the screen while you type.

as far as 3800 series adapter goes.. it's pain to carry it extra and it's even more pain trying to plug it into keyboard, but it's got power connector on the side. if you decide to write pages and pages using the keyboard, you don't have to worry about unplugging the keyboard and charging pocket pc.
