While we wait (somewhat) patiently
for the 3rd-party Springboard modules to come out, we can get our Visor
accessories in order. Recently keyboards have been thrust into the
spotlight with the introduction of the Landware
GoType!
for Visor and the Targus Stowaway.
In this faceoff, I compare the two in terms of features and usability.
Make sure to read the individual reviews (see the
links on the right) for in-depth looks at the two keyboards.
Below is a "just the facts, ma'am" table of the features of the GoType! and Stowaway keyboards. Note that there is no mention of how useful the keyboard drivers are, nor are there any usability comments.
