Customer Review: ETEN M600 users
For the keyboard to work with ETEN M600 PDA you have to point the navigator to the company site www.thinkoutside.com FROM YOUR DEVICE connected to the internet where the best driver will be automatically selected and readied for download, download it and install it IN THE DEVICE MEMORY NOT THE SD CARD.
Works fine
Customer Review: Beware for Palm TX and others
I’m very unhappy to have to give such a nice piece of hardware such a low rating. I really liked the keyboard. It’s compact, has a great feel, and is light.
However, it just doesn’t work. The problem is specifically with the software, and not the hardware. The device requires you instal a driver on your PDA, and the current driver for Palm doesn’t work (for other devices see below). The shift key is very erratic, such that you end up with strings that LOoKs lIKe THiS. If you are using a Palm TX, do *not* buy this keyboard. Unless you can do with out using the shift key!
The company promised a revised driver in March for Palm, and as I write this we are well into April and there is no driver yet. They have ignored mine and *many* others’ requests to know what the status is of the update. It’s been a complete and eerie silence.
As far as for other products, as I’ve been frequenting the company’s forum pages often, I have noticed there are other PDAs which are suppose to work but don’t. I *strongly* urge you to go to Think Outside home page, then go to the forum. There is a forum dedicated exclusively to discussing this product. Do a search there on your PDA and see if other people are having problems or not. If there’s nothing there, and your PDA is suppose to work, then you’re probably fine.
Specifically, if you have a palm TX like me, what I would suggest you do, if you have any interest in this keyboard, is to first go to the company home page. Check out the most recent driver for Palm. If they are still on 3.01 which was released in June 2005, don’t buy the keyboard. However, if they have a new driver, I would go to the forum page of Think Outside and see if anyone is having problems with it. If not great, if so continue to beware!
I do think other palm devices aside from the TX have been having trouble, but go to to forums and check for yourself regarding the relevant device.
Always check the support forums for any device before you buy! Ah .. if only I had done that before buying this keyboard!
Good luck!
