How about some positive news on products for the IPAQ - I have some good things to report!
I have purchased all three of these things in the past week, and all have met or exceeded my expectations.
1) The new IPAQ CF Expansion Plus Sleeve - while much has been written...I installed it as driected in the easy to read instructions, and the CD went flawlessly. After the immediate reset (after install), it has worked perfectly. The weight, the cover, and the extra battery life are most valuable.
2) Pylon Conduit for Pocket PC - this great software allows me to sync up with Lotus Notes (which I'm stuck with at work). I now have my e-mail, calendar, to-do's, appointments, and other related items on my PocketPC, and it sync's up on my second PC fine every time. Would highly recommend! This product is co-authored by the Avantgo folks, and they have special pricing going on (no I don't work for them!)....

3) Socket Digital Phone Card (CF) for cell phone connectivity(mine is a Samsung-SprintPCS) - I have used this for the past week, and really like how well it set up and worked out of the box. While connections are not beyond 14K, they are quite reliable and adaquate, and I can use my regular Sprint minutes to access e-mail and the WEB at no extra change. It works as advertised.
Here is the link for more info or to order one:

Kudos for these folks doing what they say, and providing quality products that work. That seems to be the excption these days, rather than the rule, so I wanted to provide positive feedback and refer anyone else to these vendors.
Now I'm "fully charged up" and wireless! - You can be too!
