I hope I'm not answering this twice. I got a bounce from Yahoo saying it
couldn't deliver.
Anyway, here's one of the potential aggravations of buying online
something you don't really know it's what you want/need. There are
companies out there that sort of forget to tell you such things as this
doesn't work with one of the more popular devices out there.
The good news, I thought at the time, was the keyboard from NewEgg
was 40 cents less expensive on the purchase price, and about $7 less and
at least 4 days faster than buying from Amazon. It shipped in the night,
and should be here Tuesday; I'd have been happy with Wednesday.
So now we get to see how long it takes iGo to make it work.
