Palm PDA Keyboard Makes Inputting Easy

With vast leaps in technology the Palm PDA has become a first class competitor for many other leading smart phones. Whilst it may not be a permanent replacement, the Palm is certainly a serious candidate for most people’s temporary out of the office solution, if they could just get over the tiny inbuilt Palm PDA keyboard or learn to write on the screen recognition software at any real pace. Especially as the recognition software is Symbian based which means just writing letters, as we know them doesn’t work.

The answer to this problem could be an add on, full size, Palm PDA keyboard, either available to connect using the infrared port technology or with a built in docking station to slot the PDA into, these clever devices fold away so that they are easy to transport and then unfold when in use to provide a full size Palm PDA keyboard. You have now got a full size QWERTY keyboard attached to your tiny computer, and are able to add to documents or create emails with ease.

The great fact is that these keyboards are not expensive, Amazon are retailing one for less than $3, which makes it fantastic value. Again with all bolt on technological items, there is a wide range on offer, and lots of different manufacturers are trying to get a look in, so it may be worth your will researching the differences, by reading reviews before you buy. Remember the outlet you choose to buy your Palm from will be keen to keep the business, and may well offer you a discount on Palm PDA and Palm PDA keyboard bundles, but this may still not be as cheap as buying one separately.

Not Phased By Size?

If the size of keyboard isn’t the issue, but you just don’t like the little buttons on the front of the PDA, it is also possible to add software that enables you to have a stylus based touch screen Palm PDA keyboard displayed on all input screens. A mini QWERTY keyboard is displayed on all screens, and you can simply touch the letters needed with a stylus, with capitals and lower case all functioning as normal. If you really feel that you don’t want to carry a separate piece of kit, or are going somewhere where you don’t want to add that much data to the device, the on screen Palm PDA keyboard may still be easier than trying to hit the correct key on the device itself.
