It's a word processor. It's a scheduler. It's QuickPad IR from QuickPad Technology , a wireless keyboard with PDA features, powered by four AA batteries that the company claims will run the unit for up to 400 hours. Entering text into the shipping unit I tested was simple and quick. The keyboard's 1MB of memory holds up to 250 separate text files in ten folders, or about 70 pages of text.
Keystrokes appear on a four-line LCD display.
The QuickPad IR automatically saves documents for transfer to your PC via the included USB infrared receiver. Press its Send button to transmit the open document to an open application on the PC, right to where you place the cursor in your word processing, spreadsheet, or e-mail program. Nevertheless, the QuickPad IR is a worthy portable word processor that could prove indispensable for people who don't want to lug around a high-priced, heavy notebook just to take notes or create documents.
