Ipaq expansion jackets

[Heinrich Baysinger]

Apologies if this has been asked before...

Does anyone have experience with the following?
1. Ipaq PC Card Expansion jacket
2. Ipaq CF Card Expansion jacktet.

Are they available?
Can they be used simultaneously?

They are (very) slowly becoming available (CF Card). I haven't heard of anyone getting
a PC Card Expansion Jacket yet (although there may be some early `evaluation' units
out there).

I can't imagine any whay that they could be used `simultaneously'. They are physical
`sleeves', and the iPAQ must be slipped into one or the other. I suppose someone could
design some elaborate little `dongle' that would split the jack, but I can't
picture any way this wouldn't be an engineering nightmare, to say nothing of placing
too much power draw on the already somewhat underpowered iPAQ.

I got a PCMCIA sleeve from action.com yesterday .. I had to wait three weeks
though.

No, they won't work together.

Did you get the PC or CF sleeve? Either way, does it add much thickness to
the unit? How thick is it?

Got a CF sleeve and a PC sleeve. The PC sleeve makes the ipaq twice as
thick as it is

The CF sleeve makes the ipaq not that thick.

The PCMCIA sleeve (PC) is a monster, and almost doubles the thickness
and the weight.

It does have a second battery inside, doubling the available power
storage.

I guess it is like this so that 5V power-hungry PCMCIA network and
modem cards will run for more than a few minutes.

Dunno about the CF sleeve. I would like to see a sleeve that takes
the camera SIM cards, and that is no thicker than the protective sleeve
that came with the device.
