I can attest that the Stowaway Sierra bluetooth keyboard does NOT work with a Treo 680. I bought one assuming if other Treos were listed as compatible it would also work with the 680. I was wrong. It does not. iGO says they are working on a driver for it. By the time it comes out, the Foleo will be available. I'll just buy it instead. :-) --- Roger Prokic Baltimore, Maryland USA
