Dell Bluetooth Keyboard - Not for X50 or X50v
My frustration with Dell grows.
While researching why my Axim X50v has been delayed yet again I discovered that the bluetooth keyboard I ordered at the same time has had it's description updated.
It used to read "Executive Keyboard for Dell Axim Handhelds (Requires Bluetooth enabled PDA)", now it reads "Executive Keyboard for Dell Axim Handhelds (Not compatible with Axim X50/X50v; requires Bluetooth enabled PDA)".
Here is a hint for Dell: Why not contact customers who ordered both the X50 and the keyboard and tell them they won't work together instead of waiting until the product ships and you get all the returns.
The Man Bag
jkOnTheRun took a look at the Axible gadget storage bag, also known as "The Man Bag".
The Man Bag tries to fill a tricky product niche: a small bag for the guy who has too many things to fit in his pockets (Pocket PC, phone, book, keys, etc etc).
Why is that a tricky niche to fill? simple: it must absolutely definately positively be impossible for the bag to be mistaken for a purse.
Did jk's Man Bag pass the "man purse" test?, check out his review and see.
Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard Review
PocketPcThoughts has reviewed the Think Outside Stowaway Bluetooth keyboard.
The Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard is a very small (5.5" x 3.9" x 0.5") box that folds out for form a good sized (9.9" x 5.8" x 0.5") 4 row QWERTY keyboard.
The Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard should work with any bluetooth equipped pocket pc (or a pocket pc wit a socket bluetooth SD or CF card) as well as many bluetooth equipped smart phones.
The list of compatible devices on the Think Outside site is a little out of date and doesn't specifically mention any of the new VGA Pocket PCs although they should work with the keyboard without problems.
