My first post in hot deals ever. :)
http://www.expansys.ca/product.asp?code=127338

came across this deal from aximsite, but it was out of stock, I ordered one anyway and when I just logged onto expansys canada and realized they have 219 in stock now.
116 before tax, plus 7% GST and 24 UPS shipping, 149 in total. I think it's a quite decent deal for the keyboard and mouse combo.
The only reseller of think outside products in Canada as listed on their website is www.softpocket.ca, which has the keyboard for 189.99 and mouse for 99.99.

These will make perfect companion for your dell axim x51 and other pocket pcs. More importantly, you can use them with your bluetooth-enabled desktops and laptops. Another nice thing about the keyboard is that it's full-sized.
Finally a one for all solution.

Damn, this indeed is a good deal :!:

This is a must have if you don't own a ipaq h4355 which already has built in QWERTY keyboard.

Judging from the picture, it looks like the same high quality SONY Clie KB-100 keyboard. When I did my research back in the day, Stoaway was like A-1 for Palm keyboards.

Having the BT mouse is awesome cause you don't have to pick up the stylus.

However, there is one caveat. Active BT with a keyboard AND a mouse will chew away at the battery life of your PDA.

Compatiblity...

one other drawback is the lack of dedicated number keys.

my pocketpc has this GREAT stowaway input device. It disappears so you can't even see it! It's called a "stylus", and they cost all of $3.

Sure it's cheap ... but some people need more than a 3$ "stylus" to input into their pocketpc.

Tell me, do you have a nice computer or a 300 dollar Dell pc that does all the basics well?

Do you have high speed internet or are you still on dial-up because it's "connects" you to the internet?

When you need to make a phone call do you rush out to your local payphone because it's "only" 25 cents? Or do you have a cel phone?

Do you live in your car so you don't have to "pay" rent? Must be comfy.

Do you eat rice and drink water because it's "all" the nutrition that you need?

Why are you even on RFD? You don't "need" deals because love is all you need! :D (In memory of John Lennon)

Hey, I just received mine yesterday. Fabulous quality. The promo actually makes the keyboard 70 and mouse 40 then plus tax. This is an amazing deal!

Dell X51v and soon Treo 650! ^^
