Maximize Pocket PC use
http://www.doml.com.sg/product.asp?id=512
I just got to play around with this nifty little product. It is a passive CF to PC Card converter which converts a CF I or CF II into a PC Card slot. My main Pocket PC is the HP Jornada 565 which only has a CF I slot. With this product I can make even more use of the CF I slot. For instance, I can continue to use the Voyager VGA PC card that I haven't used since my iPAQ Pocket PC broke. (You can see that iPAQ Pocket PC on one of the pictures, as I couldn't both use my HP Jornada to both shoot these pics as well as act as model!)
It is very light weight, and as you can see it is made of some sort of rubber. It is put together solid and works like a charm! The price is $33, so even the first PC Card I can use with the converter makes it worthwhile.

Looks as the same card. Am I missing the currency on the one I posted? Is it US $ or Singapore $?

Oh, I knew you'd come after this!
I always carry two devices. The Pocket PC and my phone.
The phone happens to be a Pocket PC, too! :wink:

... just updated the post. It should not have said HP Jornada 545. Of course, I meant 565...

Can the adaptor be bent backwards so it rests against the back of the device?
It would hard to walk around, carry a PPC and have a PC card sticks vertically out like that.

A lot of the Maestro users on Brighthand have these, and they do fold around the back. Looks a little strange, but it certainly makes transferring from an iPAQ cheaper.

I ust bought the Semsons card (exactly the same as the one you have pictured) and at only $25, with $13 shipping to the UK, quite a bargain! Who needs a PC Card sleeve?!
