Goog Expansion, but... [Posted on 2002-01-07]
This element it's great: it provide power to the iPAQ when it has no more batery and, of course, it let you attach devices like LAN and Modems (I'm using a 3Com LAN Card in order to see my e-mail account and to synchronize it with my Computer with ActiveSync. However when I tried to attach the Mini disc of Iomega (PocketZIP) doesn't work... and I read about the Dual Expansion Pack... it seems to be better than the single expansion pack and it provides mor time of power and lower consumption of power.
This thing rocks! [Posted on 2002-01-18]
IPAQ PC Expansion pack totally rocks. If you have an IPAQ 3700 series or higher this is a must have accessory. When you spent so much money on your pda, its pointless if you can't do some sleek stuff, like wireless internet. This is just the thing for it. Buy it Now! ...if you extra money left to burn, GET IT NOW! You made the right choice by buying an IPAQ, now make another one.

I've got an ipaq 3835. I'm using the PC Card sleve with a Sierra Wireless CDPD modem, which draws very little power. Perfect tool for the remote sysadmin.
If you have CDMA PCS 3G Wireless Service, this is a must... [Posted on 2002-05-11]
I work for a CDMA PCS carrier here in Puerto Rico, it works great with the Gtran Dot.Surfer PCMCIA card. Speeds of 50 to 60 and bursts of up to 144 kbps are common. If you are outside the 3G coverage area, it still works 2G at 19.2 kbps speeds. If you need to connect via mobile to the net or your business, this is a must!!
Bulky is true, but very usefull...... [Posted on 2002-09-26]
This sleeve is bulky. There are reasons though. For one, you get a battery built-in that powers the adapters or storage devices without draining the main iPAQ battery source. This pack also has a power port that allows you to plug-in and charge the PDA battery and its own. I bought this expansion pack to run the Compaq WL110 wireless LAN adapter, so I am a bit envious of the Toshiba e740 Pocket PC that has wireless built-in. Even the latest iPAQ does not come standard with wireless built-in. I suppose Compaq wants to continue the Expansion Pack sales. There is a wide variety of Compaq Flash Card adapters. I would consider getting the CF card sleeve over this one if I had the choice over. The reasons would be the smaller size of the adapter cards, the standard CF memory cards which I use for a number of reasons such as digital photos and file storage, would fit natively without a CF card to PCMCIA adapter. Compaq makes a dual PCMCIA and CF card Expansion Pack. If you have the dough, that is the probably the ideal way to go.
