Flexible Keyboards for PDAs

I've heard about people using their Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) to take notes in meetings, but I don't think I'll ever be good enough at using Graffiti or that tiny keyboard on the screen to do it myself. How do other people manage this?



Chances are the people you're referring to use a peripheral called a flexible keyboard. When stored, this keyboard is no larger than the PDA itself, but when opened up these keyboards are full sized, or near full sized. You attach your PDA to the keyboard using the same port that's used for synchronizing, and you're ready to go!

Flexible keyboards and driver software are available for most makes and models of PDAs. Do make certain that the one you choose will work with your PDA. Prices tend to range from $30-$100.
