Think Outside announced the availability of the Stowaway Shasta, a portable keyboard designed specifically for Blackberry users.

"The Stowaway Shasta is our newest keyboard for Blackberry devices with integrated Bluetooth technology," said Greg van den Dries, CEO and president of Think Outside. "Until now, Blackberry users could only compose messages using the integrated thumb keypad on their Blackberry's. These small keyboards are great for quick messages but present a real problem when trying to do serious work that requires heavy text input. With the Shasta, users can comfortably compose messages, take notes and surf the web using a full size keyboard.

The new Stowaway Shasta Bluetooth Keyboard and driver offer several unique and revolutionary features, including:

• Full size foldable keyboard - Shasta uses key switch technology that is on par with the best notebook keyboards. It folds into a compact size that is 5.7 x 3.87 x .055 inches and is available in an English QWERTY layout with a 5th row of number keys. 
• Hot keys – Shasta has a dedicated key layout for Blackberry users. Users can use hot keys to launch the most common Blackberry applications. 
• Bluetooth – Shasta uses Bluetooth technology that removes the need for cumbersome wires.

The Stowaway Shasta supports a wide variety of Bluetooth-enabled devices from RIM including the 7100, 7500 and 7200 series and will be available from leading retailers in November 2005.
