[00:00:00]A wireless PDA keyboard.
[00:02:46]Bloomberg Boot Camp, a report on today's technology.
[00:05:62]PalmOne, the company that makes the most popular PDAs... has created a new wireless keyboard.
[00:11:40]And it has designed it, so that it works with PocketPC devices that run Microsoft's rival operating system as well. PalmOne's Jim Schwabe...
[00:19:83]We've seen that the more successful ways of being broadly distributed through the retail chains is to provide a product that has multiple compatibilities.
[00:30:44]So we see ourselves in the accessories business being able to provide a cross platform product.
[00:37:02]So now, instead of taking your laptop on a trip, you can actually go take your keyboard, pocket sized keyboard folds in half and fits in a coat pocket or purse,
[00:47:09]with your handheld device and have full typing, five row, full size, full travel keyboard on the road.
[00:54:64]The keyboard is priced at about seventy dollars... and will work with many older Palm devices as well...
[00:59:82]It'll work basically with any Palm OS 4.0 device and above.
[01:04:24]The key is having the IR port on the device, which all the Palm devices have.
[01:09:70]PalmOne has also announced a new 400 dollar bundle... that includes a Zire 72 PDA along with Tom Tom GPS navigation hardware and software... along with a 64 megabyte memory card.
[01:22:48]If you bought the same equipment separately... the price would be about two hundred dollars more.
