Hi,
Of course, the only thing it is missing is that it doesn't fit into an iPAQ expansion pack - so it doesn't fit into the nice cradles with the cables coming out the back of the cradle. That is a major drawback. I sell very nice RAM cradles that can hold the e800, and cables to connect it to any GPS, but the connector and cable stick out the bottom of the device and may be bumped or damaged by your leg in a cramped glider cockpit. My dream is that HP will follow suite with a new iPAQ that will have the 4" screen and fit into a standard iPAQ expansion pack. Has anyone heard any rumors...? I haven't.

It does look like a very interesting Pocket PC. Besides the large (4" vs. 3.5" or 3.8") high resolution (480x640 vs. 240x320) screen, it also has both CF and SD card slots and a very, very large optional battery. I've added it to my example systems web page and Pocket PC comparison page. I ordered one for testing. Atta boy, Paul! I'm really interested in this one, so thanks for taking the lead here. If it turns out to be a keeper, then maybe we can figure out how to get the Bluetooth version in addition to the USA wi-fi unit. -- ----- change "netto" to "net" to email me directly Eric Greenwell Washington State USA |

Paul, is anyone looking at making a low profile "L" shaped serial/power connector to fit in the bottom of a PDA? Something that would not stick down more than a half inch or so, with the cable coming in from the back instead of hanging down? Kind of like the low profile Garmin power/data plug for my Pilot 3 - it shouldn't be an enormous engineering task. Kirk |

Hi,
It would be very nice if someone would create a connector like that. We haven't been able to find a source for an iPAQ connector like that. I'll buy 200 if you make some.

Control Vision (www.controlvision.com) makes an excellent connector
which is compatable with all iPaqs. Their main business is producing the excellent anwhere map and anywhere weather programs for power planes. I use my iPaq in both power and glider aircraft and would not be without the Control Vision sleeve (although I believe they call it a sleeve it is really a bottom connector).
