The Stowaway keyboards are advertised only for the Sony Clie. I haven't seen anything regarding Handspring-compatible versions. BUT, Best Buy is offering a free keyboard with the Pro and Neo, after rebates (so you pay sales tax only).

I think it'd be wise not to ignore the RM development. I haven't heard anything, but based on previous products, I would bet a GPS sled for the Universal Connector is in the works that functions seamlessly with the new card. AND I wouldn't be surprised if a GPS/mapping card was in the works for sometime next year.

As it is, $40 for this travel card would be great. I'll buy it.

I asked Rand McNally guys about gps and they replied that one is in the works. They said they will start taking orders early December and deliver within two weeks.

It will be using NAVMAN GPS (www.navman.com) and it will be bundled with RM software for $199. Should ship mid December.

Palm demoed this card at SynchFest and I must say I was pretty dang impressed. Obviously, a street atlas would be the holy grail but this was a pretty cool looking chalice.
