While PocketOP sticks to its guns without supporting P800/P900 for their famous portable keyboard, the competition arises. Mobile Link has developed an infrared keyboard very similar to the PocketOP, but with a couple of advantages. Well, first of all I have to say that —despite the photograph— it can be used without the reflector, and with a diagonal infrared connection (like the PocketOP). They have confirmed this to me. While the PocketOP has the numbers in the upper "qwerty..." keys row, and you have to press "shift" to write them, the Mobile Link has a separate row of keys for numbers and special characters (like normal keyboards). It also has some additional shortcut keys. All these extra keys may make one think the device is bigger than the PocketOP, but comparing photos of both keyboards you can see they are almost identical in terms of external design, which makes me deduce the Mobile Link T806 (don't mistake with a S.E. model number, "T806" is the name of the keyboard") measure the same. We'll see by the time I lay my hand on one of these. But what stands outs in this keyboard (the first "official" one for P800/P900) is the drivers: a complete software with specific functions, customization options and even an additional on-screen keyboard with more special symbols.
