I'm really impressed with this product. First, it's about half the price of the Palm product (which I've used) and I like this one better. I prefer the one piece (non folding) construction - can't put it in your pocket, but easily fits in a briefcase or backpack. Just feels solid, whereas the folding ones feel flimsy. Excellent docking base for the Palm, supports it really well. It came with some nice extras I wasn't expecting. It came with a full functioned Word Processer (complete with Spell check, a thesaurus) capable of saving in .doc format, then loading directly into Word upon HotSync. If bought by itself, this software is about the same price of the keyboard - here, it's a great free bonus. I also appreciate the fact that you can HotSync directly from the keyboard, something many other models don't do. This is a great keyboard, and truly does make the Palm function more like a mini-laptop. Well worth it. | 5 | Today | LandWare GoType Pro Keyboard for Palm Vx
Pros: solid keyboard with no folding -- harder to damage than the Palm rendition. The keyboard is slightly smaller than a normal keyboard so is a little hard to type comfortably for longer entries, but for most Palm entries, it works fine. Cons: It is larger than practical for me for most uses since I got a palm to avoid carrying a laptop/bulky stuff. So while it is nice that is one solid piece, I don't use it as much as I would if it fit in my fanny pack. | 4 | Today | Great Accessory
This keyboard provides a lot of functionality to a Palm V or Vx. It almost makes it a laptop replacement. Very satisfied with the way it works, except my big fingers get in the way. | 4 | Today | Excellent and Useful!
This product has turned my Palm Vx from a PDA into a laptop replacement. I use it to type notes, write e-mail, and pretty much everything else that requires data entry. The stylus is still necessary for many applications, but I've gotten used to it. As other reviewers have noted, there are a few quirks to work around, but they haven't seemed that serious to me. You get used to them, and the added convenience of the keyboard definitely outweighs the oddities that come from using it. | 5 | Today | Buy The Real Palm Keyboard! , NOT THIS
I got this piece of crap, and its horrible, I immediatly returned it for the real palm keyboard, hey more expensive things, are usually better! | 1 | Today | WATCH OUT! Palm Freeze!
I just got my GoType Pro and I was very excited to check it out, but then the scariest thing happened. I installed the software, turned on the GoType on my Palm V, and then it froze! I called their tech support and they told me that I needed to reset my Palm V in order for my Palm V to function again. NOTE: do not activate or press ON before you have placed the Palm in the cradle. This will freeze it up and you can not do anything until you reset. My rating is 3 because of the bug in the software. Other than that it is a pretty cool gadget | 3 | Today | Great product for traveling
I use the Landware GoType! Keyboard for my Palm V, and it is just great! Not only is it great for typing, but when traveling it dobles as a hotsync cradle, it comes with cords for power and a serial cord for hot syncing. | 5 | Today | Superb!
An excellent addition to the Palm Vx. If you have Email or Fax applications and need to type long messages, it is a must. If you don't own that type of software and you buy the keyboard, then you will expand your use of your organizer dramatically. It essentially converts the Palm Vx into a laptop computer that you can carry in your pocket. Terrific product! | 5 | Today | Home Run
This is a great product and I cannot find one thing to complain about with Landware. They even have good customer service, as my software download problem was solved in minutes with no waiting. It's tough, light, tiny, and easy to carry around. You can type anywhere regardless of surface, on your knees even. Don't under-estimate the advantage that it has no power supply of its own, so no battery issues. No observable extra battery drain on your Palm V either. This GoType solves the shift key problem I mentioned in my GoType III review, and it improves the keystroke feel so much that it feels like a regular keyboard to me. The key layout is slightly changed and improved too, over the III. The serial port and recharge function mean that the keyboard supplies you with a second synch cradle too (although it does not come with the necessary AC adaptor, which is not available separately as far as I can tell--you have to buy a travel kit or a Palm V/Vx to get one. Go figure.) | 5 | Today | A great tool to enhance your Palm V or VII
This is an exellant keyboard fot the Palm. Especially if you travel a lot. And, it can also double as a crade so that you can charge the orginizer with it and hotsync with it. I recommed it for any Palm user. | 5 | Today |
