No Belkin SnapNType for x50v

JoeFuture · 12-22-04, 09:33 PM

I sent Belkin a mail today asking if they were going to introduce a snap-on keyboard for the x50 series like they just did for the x30/x3i's (see http://news.designtechnica.com/article6157.html). They basically told me no, no plans, no eta, don't plan on it. Bummer.

It is still rather soon for them to put one out. Having cases from Belkin when the product is released is quite normal, but they also don't require much R&D to put together.

Seems a shame though that companies like Dell wouldn't partner with the parasite accessories companies a bit earlier to make a more compelling product offering. Honestly, the availability of accessories is one of the big things I look at when I purchase something like a Pocket PC or cell phone. In this case, I had a great price opportunity, and VGA won over accessories

mostly the ppc maker doesnt contact the companies, it just takes time for things to come out...

the ipaqs seem like they have so many accessories because 1) they have been around longer and 2) they are sold in major retail stores like Best Buy while dell is online only really (besides there few mall setups LOL)
