Bluetooth Freedom Keyboard

Bluetooth Freedom Keyboard
From Proporta
Cost $99.95
Four stars

Here comes the second and most welcome entry into the Bluetooth keyboard market. The Freedom keyboard is a handsome, compact unit weighing only 7.25 ounces and folds into a protective zipper pouch for protection. The five-row keyboard offers a number and symbol row without using a function key. There are 10 programmable keys and many handy symbol keys for Eurodollars, Yen, British Pound, Copy Right and more.

My wishes for this device are that the stand be adjustable and the keys a bit bigger. Otherwise, it should be a welcome addition to any PDA packer’s arsenal. You cannot help but attract attention when you pull it out at a meeting while everyone else is lugging a laptop. With the Freedom Keyboard, you can leave your lunky laptop at home. Maybe that’s why they call it the Freedom Keyboard.

At $99, it’s a bargain, and works with Pocket PCs, Palms, and Smartphones. To order, visit www.proporta.com and check out the myriad other PDA accessories while you’re there.
