What Your Keyboard Says About You

Sitting at a corner table in a pub crowded with social media fiends who come together for a weekly networking event, Justin Peer pulled out his Nokia N95 phone and his iGo Stowaway Ultra-Slim Bluetooth Keyboard. He opened up the sleek metal-and-plastic contraption, which was only slightly larger than an index card when folded up, leaned his phone against its small stand and started typing away.

He didn't get far on his blog post, though, before a crowd had formed, curious about his little gadget, wanting to try it out and asking where they could get one, too.

Handing out business cards for his mobile massage therapy practice, Peer says, "I won't thumb type more than a text message, but with this keyboard and this phone, I can do 90 percent of what I do on my laptop."

Often an afterthought, only replaced when carpal tunnel or BlackBerry thumb sets in, today's keyboards are more than just conversation starters; they can be stylish and functional additions to your gadget collection, whether you're looking for a light-and-lean on-the-go option or a desktop workhorse. And today's options go well beyond split-key, sloped ergonomic clunkers.
