I saw a thread here 2 or 3 months ago for a free keyboard. I gave my info and was told it would ship on 09/16 (over 2 months later). I waited and nada, checked their site and it says the store is closed. Did they go under? Did anyone get their's recently? What's up with that, I paid good money for this.... wait, no I didn't.

I got the Rocketboard several months ago, used it for two months until the space bar stopped working...threw it away.

I guess you get what you pay for. :Q

I got my RocketBoard a few months after I ordered it. They took forever to send it, and once I got it, it was worth exactly what I paid for it. It took about 3 days to break.

Don't hold your breath got this e-mail last week!!!

Dear Member,

RocketBoard has recently suspended operation of our consumer product business and discontinued further shipments of RocketBoards. If you ordered a RocketBoard for $19.95 your credit card has not been charged.

Please visit our website at http://www.rocketboard.com for
more information.

well darn... cejay here got one... Saw it at his place, but I have yet and seems will never receive the one I ordered. Oh well. All these .coms going under... I guess people thought you can do anything and/or give anything away and as long as it was a web page you would make money. Reality sets in real quick.

I got it couple months ago and gave it to my now girl friend 'cause she's using AOL and the Rocketboard has many shortcut keys for AOL. As far as I know she likes it and has no problems at all.

Does the Rocketboard ship via UPS? Fed-Ex? Since the item is basically free, I hope they don't require a signature on delivery.
