Did you own a foldable keyboard for your PDA?

Look what I found! from the ashes, this is my Targus Stowaway Foldable Keyboard compatible with the Handspring Visor series. I think I bought this in 2001 and used it with a Visor Deluxe wihch I then upgraded to a second hand Visor Prism (with 16-bit color!).

The foldable keyboard was an engineering marvel back in the day and not too many people owned one. Did you own a foldable keyboard for your Palm / Windows Mobile device? I remember this cost around PHP 3,500.00 or so with this particular model tough to get as there weren’t as many Handspring devices compared to Palm in Manila.

Oooh! A former boss used to have one of those. It made me want to get a PDA back then.

Was dreaming of this set up, a PDA and foldable keyboard back then. Good thing tech products are now more affordable compared before.

I have 2 of those, my 1st one was also a targus exclusive for my Jornada. It looks almost exactly the same as your photos. The 2nd one is a generic which I bought in Singapore for my XDA II. Both are now retired is still working but stowed away somewhere.

Hey, I remember you bring this to work way back 2002 (I think) Doyet and JR were at best astonished.
