The latest rumor from Thinkoutside is the 680 driver is targeted for
release in mid-July. A little frustrating, but I decided to hang onto
the Stowaway and see what happens.
BTW, except for it's shiny metal case, the Stowaway Sierra is
remarkable similar -- the way it folds and locks, for instance -- to the
Palm version into which I used to plug previous Palm devices. And since
the Palm BT keyboard that claims to work with the 680 is a new offering,
I'd be wondering about that connection, and Palm's reported reluctance
to share the necessaries for the 3rd party keyboard developers,
especially since Palm's version is $50 more than iGo's street price.
Just a thought from a sometimes cynical mind.
