I am strongly considering buying a 4700 to replace my e740. I know that there are some keyboards that will work with the 4700, but is there one that allows you to easily view the screen in landscape mode and use the keyboard for data entry?

TIA

I'm also looking to replace my e740 with an hx4600. My guess is that the two keyboards H-P currently lists as 4700 accessories would handle landscape. I have seen a pre-release photo (on another forum) that showed a keyboard handling the 4700 in landscape operation. You'd want confirmation from a reliable source before buying.

I really like my Thinkoutside Universal Bluetooth keyboard, but it looks like it might not suit you too well, since you want have the keyboard hold the ipaq in landscape mode. I either type with the ipaq in the cradle or just flat on a surface, or whatever. It's really nice to have full-sized keys. It took a few hours to get used to having to press function to get to numbers, but since then I don't even have to think about it.
