| Description |
|
The Compaq iPAQ doesnt have built-in expansion sockets but with the CF Card Expansion Jacket you can plug in any CompactFlash card. Rather than tying you to a single type of expansion slot, the iPAQ stays slim and sleek by having a special connector on the base that lets you add different jackets, depending what you want to plug in. They wrap neatly around the iPAQ and the CF jacket doesnt make the iPAQ much thicker. Youll mostly see CompactFlash cards with extra memory (from 4MB and up) but you can also get hard drives, SmartMedia adaptors, 56K modems, GSM modems, network cards, wireless Ethernet cards, digital cameras and even barcode readers in the CompactFlash format. Because the CompactFlash standard is based on the PC Card, its often easy for manufacturers to bring out CompactFlash versions of existing PC Card devices so well see more and more CompactFlash devices coming out. What the CF jacket doesnt have is a second battery, but CompactFlash memory cards dont use up a great deal of power so you wont find your iPAQ running out of batteries much sooner. If youre using a wireless card or a hard drive that will use up the batteries and if you have an IBM MicroDrive with a PC Card adaptor, you might prefer to get the CompaqPC Card Expansion Jacket instead, because that has a second battery pack. Without expansion, the iPAQ is desirable but not as powerful as it could be. If you want to do everything you can with Pocket PC, the CF Jacket lets you plug in more memory or a variety of other extras, without making your iPAQ too big and bulky.--Mary Branscombe |

Place the protector with the bent corners facing up, these act as a frame to stop the protector from sliding (they rest aga..

HP Jornada 540 Executive Leather Case
|
This cover is very stylish. It enhances the look of my 545 quite well. The hotkeys have to be disabled or it switches itself on when you close it. I did have a concern that it does not protect the sides of the Jornada as it is a flip-over design, but neither did the metal lid that came with it. Over..
