Combines Mouse and Keyboard in a Small Package

May 7, 2008

Rating: 6 out of 10 (Good)
Pros: Small and light
Cons: Erratic touchpad, missing keys, price
Opinion:
This is by far the best alternative to bulky wireless keyboards and mice. Slightly shorter and lighter than a PSP, the diNovo comes with a qwerty keyboard and touchpad built right in. Using your thumbs to control the touchpad and to touchtype take some getting used to. Due to its small size, some keys like the Function Keys would have to be omitted. The touchpad is not the best around as mouse movements become erratic sometimes. Worse, you have to constantly flick a switch to choose between the arrow keys and the touchpad. This becomes rather tedious after a while. For anything more than light data entry, the diNovo is fails to impress.
