Well the good thing about no stand is that you can use it landscape. But the shitee thing is no stand heh. Flexis looks cool but ive used those types of keyboards on laptops and they kind of suck for typing. I dunno i was hoping someone new of another brand that was cheap and pretty portable considering theres something wrong with all these kb's i might as well get a cheap non thumboard one.

I want the Flexis on, it just looks cool. And I could roll it up and junk like that. But there's another one that's basically a thumb pad but acts as a screen protector as well, it connects into the stylus slot and swings around

Well first of all i said no thumboards but this one does look particually awesome . The only problem with it is there is only a palm version and soon to be released casio version i guess, but i have and ipaq 3650 . Anyways i cant wait for an unreleased product see im reviewing NSBasic for pocketmatrix and using transcriber to do "antime anywhere programming" is somewhat of a freakin bitch and a half, so i figure its time to buy a keyboard then i can also write "anytime anywhere reports" for school . A printer would be nice too. Anyone know about any printers that doesn't use that bluetooth shit for the ppc? I can support flash cards and whatever will plug into an ipaq i/o port or into a nic. Anyways i guess my best bet for a keyboard maybe the flexis with one of those flipee plastic stands that let you velcro your ppc to it so a can put it on the stant portrait ways or landscape ways. Anyone acually see these plastic things though? There like 20 bucks for two pieces of plastic hinged togather.

The StowAWay is the only truely full size PPC keyboard, but it folds to the size of the PocketPC. I'd definitely go with that one. All the rest of the keyboards are just gimmicks or not as useful. Go with the Stow-a-way hands down.
For a nice IRDA printer, I'd suggest Canon BJC-85. You can plug this one into your desktop using the USB port or take that out and carry it with you and use it wherever with your pocketpc, the built in IRDA port, and the NiMH battery pack (optional).
The Pentax PocketJet200 printer comes in either IrDA or Serial, but it requires no cartridges, toner, or ribbons. It uses a "direct thermal printing" solution so you never have to buy ink again. I'm assuming it's only black and white, however.
The HP Deskjet 350CBI Portable Printer is the most advanced but also most expensive.
All of these printers have IrDA ports and are very portable, the Pentax being the smallest, HP being the largest.

Thanks moose that was pretty helpfull. Do you really think i should go targus instead of flexis with that flipee thing though? The one thing that erks me is i like to write reports and code in landscape mode.
