The $5 IR Keyboard

Still carrying a PDA? Type notes wirelessly on the cheap

If you happen to still have a PDA and you’re looking for a cheap IR keyboard, look no further than BG Micro. BG Micro has slashed $55 off the former retail price of the discontinued Targus Universal Wireless Keyboard (PA870U). For a Lincoln (that’s $5 not 1¢), you can quickly start jotting notes on that antiquated Palm OS or Pocket PC handheld with nary a stylus in sight. Just grab the drivers from the Targus archived support section and you’re in business. That is, if your business still runs on a PDA.

This is exactly what I'm looking for... maybe. Will this work with a Zire 72? The Zire 72 is a Bluetooth enabled Palm, but I have no clue as to whether it can handle IR like the older models did.

Is there a computer adapter available that will allow you to use this with a modern Windows Vista laptop?
