Type away with ThumBoard


Thu Dec 6, 2001 - 2:11 PM EST - By Lisa Rosselli

Conclusion

The ThumBoard also comes in versions for the Palm V, Vx, m500, and m505. There is no version for the Visor Prism or Edge, however.

Support from Seiko has proven friendly and fast. Upon asking the Seiko staff to email me the driver (Editor's note: We lost the installation floppy), I was promptly responded to in a matter of less than an hour.

The ThumBoard being Seiko's first foray into the handheld market, I believe this product will prove to be successful for them. The ThumBoard is an extremely intuitive, functional, and mobile mini-keyboard.
