Just a note about Wince- Any software that does not support strong authentication is susceptible to inserted code- e.g. virus. This includes Linux, VXworks, UNIX, Palm, Symbian and QNX- all have had virus/worm attacks.
Some of these systems, including Windows CE, can and have been extended to include strong authentication. Diebold did not bother with this effort.
Interestingly, with more than 50,000,000 installed Windows CE and Pocket PC systems, there has not been even one example of a self-inserting virus in the wild.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I love my little computing companion but I often find myself missing a full sized keyboard. I have been looking at several of these portable and flexible keyboards, but I can't seem to make up my mind about which I should buy. I don't want the keyboard to be overly expensive, but I want it to be good quality. Also, how difficult is it to type on these keyboards? Thanks!"
