Does anybody know if there is a multi-cradle for the iPAQ?

I'm not sure I know what you mean by "multi-cradle". Can you give an example?

Multi cradle, like the symbol cradle that can hold up to four devices. I was wondering if there was such a thing for the iPAQ?

Thanks

Interesting. I didn't know something like that existed. I've never heard of anything like it for the iPAQ and I keep fairly well appraised of what's available for accessories.

I'm not sure how well something like that would work. I know that if I try to connect several Pocket PCs via the same hub, my PC gets really confused if they're all in the cradle at the same time.

I suspect that Symbol has a special setup to support manufacturing and related fields, where they may have a set of PPC+barcode units handed out each morning and all come home to sync & charge every night.

There is no such thing for the iPaq. You could in theory plug in multiple cradles, but as Brad said ActiveSync will probably get massively confused--you'd have to use a different sync system.
