Default Re: So many ipaqs... (using Dell X30)

I'd like to see these sync cables integrated into a belt attached carrying case. I've always been on the lookout for a case with a teather to the PPC that would help avoid drops or at least slow down a PPC that has been dropped. The retractable sync cable seems like an even better solution.

The 4150 is my all-time favourite iPAQ, but lately I've been using the X30. It's a great unit as well, but the design and ergonomics of the 4150 are simply untouched (IMO).
I've just switched to Dell X30 from my tricked out iPaq 36xx which I've been determined to stick untill some really compelling PPCs were available. I tried the 312 MHz for a few days and decided to send it back for the 624 MHz. Manly because I want to use PocketSkype. I'd be curious to see a survey of how many people are adding/replacing their HP devices with Dell X30.

For me this deal makers were:
  • Great price/performance
    Toggle wheel for one handed navigation
    Bluetooth/WiFi

An added bonus that I just found out, the power connector for the Dell is the same for the iPaq 36x series. The Volt/Amps are within tollerance. So close, I can continue to use my old Targus Universal Power supply with my new Dell.

I thought a VGA screen would be a deal breaker, but when I thought about it I really do not enjoy the web very much on such a small screen. Besides, price premium was just too high for VGA. None the less, I'll be curious to see how much the X50 costs.

Now I'll just leave my iPaq in the car for a GPS system.

Jason,

I got one lastnight and got it to work with sync and charge on the 4350, even enabled both radios(wifi and bluetooth) with the screen on. Tried it on several computers with USB 1 and 2 ports. Also tried it on a co-workers non-upgraded 4350 and it also performed the same. Hopefully the cable is defective and not your PPC... the problems you are describing are the problems I had with other synch/charge cables due to the current requirements of the 4XXX series, the Lil' Sync Pro is the only retractable sync/charge cable I got to work with the 4XXX series.

I am really impressed with the ruggedness of this cable a definite must have...the new C2 WriteShield is impressive as well...

I ASSume that the auto and ac adapters will work with this new iteration, correct?
Yes, that is correct. The AA battery adapter works as well.

That's why this new one is bigger, thicker, and re-engineered to work with the more power-hungry units - it works with the 4150. :-)

YES!!! It does work with the 4150!!

I just received one this afternoon along with PPC Tech's new C2 screen protector. The screen protector was sent for review - so I wasn't expecting the Lil' SYnc Pro. When I opened up the box, my heart skipped a beat or two (it does this all the time - maybe I should get that checked out?? :lol: ) I was skeptical at first. But it works!!!

So, Leonard, since we have your attention, why does the X3 Up label on my LiL Sync have to be turned down on my X30...and...how is the RAM expansion for the X30 looking?

Because Dell installed the socket upside down. It's the way the 3rd party connector is made.

We're working on the RAM upgrade. Still having difficulties getting the system to initialize it properly. Something to do with the 270 processor.

That's kind of what I figure'd. Keep pushing on that X30 RAM upgrade. Best 'accessory' I got for my 4155.
