Title: New Pocketop is out!
Post by: ZDevil on July 16, 2004, 04:06:39 am
From Pocketop Official Site (http://www.pocketop.net/palmos5.htm):

Pocketop is offering a Palm OS 5/ XDA2 / Symbian OS Upgrade Program, a one time bulk trade-in for any working Pocketop or Wireless Link MI keyboard with all of the original parts and packaging, plus $59 and $10~15 shipping.

At last, Pocketop has launched an upgraded (remanufactured actually) version of its IR keyboard.  My old one once sat quietly on my workbench collecting dust bcoz of its compatibility with my Clie NX73 Euro (OS5).  As it's now revived by my C860, I just wonder if it is worthwhile to do the trade-in.  Any opinions?
