[Eug-lug] Recommendation? Folding keyboard

[Ben Barrett]

I remember looking into portable bluetooth keyboards a while back, and
was dismayed that there were such poor designs, ranging from issues
with powering-on and pairing, to power efficiency and security.  Let
me know what you find out, but those are some of the issues to look
for.  I found some good details by reading reviews on both amazon and
newegg.  Let me know if any newer models seem to have it "all worked
out'.  :)
I think the Stowaway seemed like the best compromise at the time:
about 2 years ago IIRC.
