Like my friend Mr. Barber, I also had the opportunity to look at the qwerty
docking station for the Icon. All I can say is, I'm quite impressed. The
action on the keys is wonderful, and I believe that this docking places the
Icon in a position to compete with any other blindness PDA on the market
today.

The front piece is actually a wrist rest. The keyboard is slanted even if
the wrist rest is folded under, but you're right, it slants a bit more when
the wrist rest is folded out. I am extremely criticalabout keyboards, and i
really love the keyboard on the dock. The casing is tapered, so it slants a
bit, and there is some contrast between the rows of keys, not quite as flat
as a laptop, and the way the keys press--well, i just can't describe it, but
you'll not be disappointed.
It does come with a carrying case, yes. The wrist rest does not serve as a
handle, but the carrying case has both a grip handle, and a carry strap.
Another thing i love about the carrying case is that it has a velcro pocket
on the outside of the case rather than inside, and the pocket has some depth
to it. So, you can carry around the charger, maybe some day a Braille
display, etc, without pressing against the keys or making the case too bulky
to close.
