Stowaway Confusion

From Internet Tablet Talk

The hardest part in sorting through the threads over at internettabletalk has been trying to make sense of all of the references to the stowaway keyboard. In most cases it is only called the stowaway keyboard but I've found a dozen different variations on the name.

The first variation is the ThinkOutside/iGo name change. It seems that "In May 2006, Think Outside, Inc. was purchased by [Electronics, Inc.], the makers of the versatile iGo power adapters." As far as I can tell the keyboards haven't changed because of this but their names have.

Thus far I have been able to find three distinct keyboards although there are name several variations that I can't match to any of these.

• iGo Stowaway® Ultra-Slim Bluetooth® Keyboard (aka ThinkOutside Stowaway Sonoma Bluetooth Keyboard)
• iGo Stowaway® Bluetooth® Keyboard (aka ThinkOutside Stowaway Sierra Bluetooth keyboard)
• iGo Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard for Blackberry (aka ThinkOutside Stowaway Shasta Bluetooth Keyboard)

The iGo Stowaway® Bluetooth® Keyboard is the larger (5 row) black keyboard. The iGo Stowaway® Ultra-Slim Bluetooth® Keyboard is the smaller (4 row) gray keyboard.
