I finally opened mine. I put it away for two weeks so I'd have an extra birthday present earlier this week.

The one they sent me is a lot smaller than the Stowaway I had for my Jornada years ago. It does not match the configuration shown in the user guide either. Smaller and fewer keys. The functions of the missing keys seem to have been replaced by the options offered by the Green function key. No discover button. Instead, I press control-blue function-green function keys simultaneously to get the green flashing discovery light. Also, sheureka, the one I got says iGO all over it. On the back, on the pda clip, on the front cover. It does not say Stowaway anywhere however.

Functionally, it's fabulous. Excellent response to typing. Lots of keyboard shortcuts to 6700 functions. Works as well or better than advertised. Much better than my Jornada Stowaway ever did. I like it a lot. It means I'll never have to lug my Dell XPS around anymore when I'm traveling or working away from my home office.

Only negative: Whoever designed those permanent stick-on "how to open" and "how to close" labels needs to be rolled up in their own tape and left there until someone figures out how to get them unstuck. I pulled the L key off immediately when I tried to remove the label. Fortunately it went right back on again when I pressed it in place. The residual glue on the keys required wet fingernailing to remove. The glue on the outside cover needed dry fingernailing -- and some splashes of it may be stuck on there forever.

But for $30, it's a real deal. Thanks again for finding it.
