Does anyone know if there are any collapsible keyboards available for the Axim?

I bought a Belkin wireless keyboard from e-com. that folds in half but it still fits in your shirt pocket. The keyboard is great but the stand that you put the ax on is kinda cheesy. When you compare the price I paid 37.00 to the 99.00 options I have no complaints as I use the keyboard infrequently anyway.

Where did you get that keyboard for 37 dollars?

Its like I said the keyboard itself is great but the stand you put the ax on is pretty flimsy. If I was going to do most of my input using the keyboard this would not be my choice but since I use it infrequently it suits my needs just fine.

Does the belkin wireless keyboard take up the CF card and would it be good for just taking notes on a desk?

I think the Dell one is $80, with discount, and if you plan to use it a lot, GET IT over the IR ones, as someone who has seen, and used both, I must say that the Dell brand one is the best one I've seen, it is a two-fold, but it's all one piece, it is solid and firm with its tactile feedback, and it can be used on your lap, doesn't use extra power, doesn't require extra batteries, has more keys, is more reliable, is very durable, and looks cool too.

If your use of the keyboard will be infrequent, I'd get the IR, but if you plan to do lots of data entry, nothing compares in terms of foldables (I've used an IR, stowaway, and the Dell, the Dell is the best easily)

ya but im broke and all i need to use it for is to type notes in 1 class.

Belkin keyboard does not use the cf slot. It props up your ax and bounces a ir beam from the keyboard to the top of your ax.
