Bumpity bump!


Going back to what SHC said above, I have just fitted a GPS kit to my car for use with my h2210 and that came with a magnetic mount. As such I too have noticed that whenever I attach/detach the iPAQ to/from the mount it turns the unit off.

This is a nuisance but otherwise the magnetic mount is absolutely perfect for my needs so does anyone know if it's doing any long-term damage? My guess is that it's just tripping a little microswitch somewhere in the iPAQ and there's nothing to worry out, but maybe one of you guys knows better.

P.S. For anyone else having the same problem, I have noticed that if I place the magnet right at the bottom of the iPAQ's body then this doesn't happen, but you are inevitably still going to trip it off everynow and then by mistake.
