I've been lurking around here for months. My ipaq is seriously needing replacement and a new gadget purchase is coming nigh! The internal GPS and keyboard on the 810 are really attractive but the 800 seems to be the better deal cash-wise. One question that would help me decide is whether my stoway folding keyboard for my ipaq could be made to work. Its not blue tooth (connecting the old fashioned way!) the ipaq connector is a USB port that is definitely not a host. I think the keyboard is probably just a serial-type connection. Can the 800/810 work with this in theory? I imagine a driver may need to be written. My programming skills are pretty slim but I might try to write it (would be a good learning experience) if its not too advanced programming task. Any comments would be appreciated.
