Conclusion

Although the Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard is a better-constructed keyboard with more keys, the lack of number row is a serious issue. The Palm IR keyboard, even though it requires the unit to be positioned in a stand is really the benchmark for a portable keyboard design: sturdy, elegant, and easy typing make it my first choice.

For those that really desire Bluetooth capability in a keyboard though, I�d recommend the Freedom Keyboard over the Stowaway simply because of the fifth row of dedicated number/punctuation keys and a solid ability to customize function keys, not to mention it�s a bit less expensive.
