If you have recently purchased an HP iPAQ PDA, then you may or may not know about all the exceptional accessories the device has to offer. One of the greatest add-ons you can purchase for this device is the HP iPAQ Bluetooth folding keyboard. While the iPAQ is an incredibly powerful device and one of the best personal digital assistants out there, many users have complained that the typing on the device is rather difficult. Sure you can get a normal wireless keyboard to accompany the device, but carrying around a bulky keyboard with a tiny computer defeats the purpose of having a PDA in the first place. If you are carrying anything, you want it to be minimal in size and be easily portable. For this reason, it is recommended to get a wireless folding keyboard to accompany your HP iPAQ.
The HP iPAQ Bluetooth folding keyboard is made, as the name implies, especially for the HP iPAQ handheld device. Using the keyboard in tandem with the PDA allows you to enter data as fast as your fingers can type. It is an exponentially faster and more efficient method of data entry. If you need to write emails, notes or reports, you can imagine how much easier a keyboard would make the process. Another added benefit of the device is that it has special keys specifically for the iPAQ, which allows for you to optimize the PDA experience and make it as seamless as possible.
Let’s talk about the compatibility and dimensions of the HP IPAQ Bluetooth folding keyboard. When folded, the keyboard is only 5.7 inches long, 3.9 inches in width and merely 0.8 inches in height. It is slim enough to fit in a pocket or a sleeve of a briefcase. The device weighs just less than 7 ounces, therefore there is minimal weight added to any travelers load.
A HP iPAQ Bluetooth folding keyboard can be purchased from multiple locations on the Internet. Some of the best places to look are Amazon, Best Buy and the Hewlett Packard home page. Since Hewlett Packard produces the wireless folding keyboard, they may end up having the best price, but in any case you should compare all prices you find online. In general, the HP iPAQ Bluetooth folding keyboard can be purchased for about $100. Most vendors do not include batteries, so that is an additional purchase you will have to make. The folding keyboard takes two AAA batteries.
One other thing to be sure of when purchasing the HP iPAQ Bluetooth folding keyboard is to see if there is a warranty or satisfaction guarantee included. This will give you assurance that you can return the product in the event that it does not work or you do not find it to be a helpful accessory. If you are on a limited budget, you may be able to find the product for cheaper if it is used or refurbished, but as is the case with any used electronics, there is always a risk. Not to mention there will probably not be a warrantee attached with a used HP iPAQ Bluetooth folding keyboard.
