Neat, but anyone else think that's a tad pricey?

Discussed ad nauseam in this thread: http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/foru...c.php?p=213950
Pay particular attention to Leonard's explanation of the costs involved - $7000 outlayed before one sale has even been made. You have to remember as well that they're not going to sell these to every iPAQ 2215 owner out there - maybe 5% of them if they're really lucky. These are custom mods - hot rodding for your PPC - and that never comes cheap.
Anyway, as in all things, you as a consumer have the power here: if they're too expensive, don't buy them. :wink:

Audiovox wanted 20 bucks, if I remember correctly, for new side grips for the Maestro. And they were plastic!

Wow -- those look amazing. 8O I suspect it'll be a low-volume item due to the cost, but for those who want to pimp up their 2215s... 8)

The price seems quite reasonable. $40 is almost �20 over here now. If they are on sale in the UK though I bet they will be �40!!! :evil:

Really, you can't consider this hot-rodding your IPAQ. If your bumper kept on falling off the front and back of your car, would you consider yourself hotrodding it to fix the problem? Nope.
I'm just a little upset that HP doesn't offer something like this at a reasonable price.
