Think Outside today announced availability of its Stowaway Portable Keyboard for Hewlett-Packard Co.'s new HP Jornada 560 PDA series.
The HP Jornada 560 series is the first PDA series to include the keyboard driver as part of the handheld's ROM. HP Jornada PDA users can now instantly take advantage of the keyboard's numerous functions and capabilities to compose email messages, take notes and work on Microsoft Word or Excel documents when away from the home or office.
"This step taken by HP simplifies and improves the customer's experience," said Phil Baker, president of Think Outside Inc. "Including the driver as part of the ROM reinforces the importance of the Stowaway as an integral part of the HP Jornada 560 PDA series' functionality. We applaud HP's choice to make this truly plug-and-play step for the benefit of their customers."
Using the Stowaway Portable Keyboard with the HP Jornada 560 PDA series further extends the variety of options available with this new Pocket PC device. The keyboard enables mobile professionals to maximize the use of Pocket Word and Pocket Excel, both of which are included with the device. The Stowaway is 100 percent full size when in use, yet magically folds to pocket size.
"The sleek, lightweight HP Jornada 560 PDA series was designed with the mobile professional in mind, and the Stowaway Portable Keyboard is a perfect complement to deliver a total mobile computing solution," said Kok Khoon Lim, general manager of HP's Jornada organization. "With the Stowaway's convenience, benefits and award-winning design, HP is even better able to meet the ever-changing needs of today's on-the-go lifestyles."
