Having looked through the section, and searched a fair amount I can't seem to find any word about a keyboard thats physically connected to the Axim.

I currently have a Belkin IR keyboard but find it annoying as it requires me to constantly keep the devices in the same place and can also have issues when I stop typing for a period of time. Not to meantion the fact that the keyboard and stand are seperate which worries me when using the device in public area's. Although a bluetooth keyboard would fix the issue, I can't find a cheap one, so my guess is that a physically connected device would be far cheaper, while also fixing the problem!

Does anyone know of such a keyboard? Or a cheap/reliable bluetooth alternative (I can dream?).

Thanking you all kindly.

I was begining to think that I was the only one who was thinking this way. I don't understand why you can get a bluetooth ear phone for under $40 and you can get a wired keyboard for less than $20 but bluetooth keyboards cost at least $100.

It seems like the obvious answer to this problem would be a bluetooth to USB adapter but every device that goes by that name only works on a PC or a printer. They won't work with a keyboard or my USB drive.

I understand their is a CF card from RATOC that will give you wired USB 1.1 port but it's $135! That's no help.

Anybody else have some info, ideas or an explanation?

Thanks

Well, there's the Belkin Snap-n-type for sale on Dell's website, $40.

If it were cheaper, boy would be all over it!

Yeah I did notice links to this however I was more in the market for a large (none thumb) keyboard. There is also the problem that its on the US site, the UK/Europe website seems to have NO axim accessories at all (except 3 cases). It is rather strange.

I'm so supprised at the number of keyboard accessories avalible for the axim compaired with the palm, I really thought the PPC devices led the market, but I guess I was wrong !
