Commercial - iPAQ Cradle Changes
Hi,
I have just learned that the 50 iPAQ cradles I had ordered from Peiker in Germany will not be delivered. They had been promised for many months. I have many disappointed customers. All I can do is apologize and provide options. Moving On I have updated my web site with several new products that are very nice options for mounting PDAs in gliders. RAM Powered Cradles The new RAM "powered" cradles are a bit on the large side, but they are very nice products. They are light and rugged and have an efficient 12V to 5V converter built into the bottom of the cradle. The cable connection is unfortunately on the bottom of the cradle, but it is a rugged DB-9 connection rather than the fragile iPAQ connector. Larry Goddard's team has created new cables that feature a short DB-9 connector with the cable exiting the back of the connector rather than going straight down. One major advantage to the RAM cradles is that they are available for every model of iPAQ available. RAM non-powered cradles RAM non-powered cradles and inexpensive, small (somewhat) and light. The downside is that they do not have an integral cable so the iPAQ connector exits the bottom of the iPAQ and may interfere with your leg in the glider cockpit. RAM cradles are available that can accommodate any PDA. Arms and Goosenecks There are many arm and gooseneck options available on my RAM page. They all connect to any RAM cradle. I have created a new adapter plate that will allow the very nice goosenecks I used with Peiker cradles to be connected to the back of any RAM cradle. Details are available on the pages listed below: RAM http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/ram.htm Goddard Cables and Power Converters http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/goddard.htm Good Soaring, Paul Remde Cumulus Soaring Supplies |
