Summary: Great Expansion
Review: My iPAQ came with this expansion pack and it made all the difference in the world to just the organizer it is by itself.
I have a 256 Compact Flash Card where I have my MP3's and of course all my documents and photographs, I also have a modem to check my e-mail anywhere, and a Network card to connect at the office.
It is kind of bulky, but for me, it is as functional as a PC without having to carry the Laptop.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Problem is not with the product
Review: My problem with this product is not the functioning of it, but the fact that cases made for the IPAQ, won't support use of this product!!!

It works exactly as designed with no problems whatsoever. I can even plug in the sleeve "hot" and it works like plug and play. But if you need a case, you'll have to use an aftermarket "large" PDA case, or a small digital camera case.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Highly Desired Accessory.
Review: The single compact flash expansion sleeve is a minimal way to go for expanding your iPAQ. The iPAQ can play mp3's directly off compact flash, there are a lot of available expansions for compact flash.

It might be wiser to look at one of the "PC card expansion sleeves" as they include an extra battery! You can pick up Compact Flash adaptors for PC cards cheep, like under ten US dollars.

Compact Flash memory can be found at fairly low prices.

With this expansion installed - the protective cover which comes with the iPAC 3765 is a fairly tight fit.

Summary: Worth having
Review: This a good product for its price. For (...)dollars you can add a modem or expand memory or add a wireless ethernet or ethernet or make your IPAQ GPS capable. But one thing product lacks is that it uses the battery of the IPAQ so it reduces the time you can use the IPAQ. The PC card expansion has its own battery so it helps the IPAQ last a little longer. And the PC card expansion has more items that can be used with it. So you just have to see which is more usable for you the CF card expansion or the PC card expansion or none if you dont need the expansions.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: MUST HAVE
Review: This is a must have for your IPAQ. A bit large, (the reason for the four stars) but it opens a whole new world of use for your IPAQ.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Transforms your iPAQ from just an e-organizer to a Pocket PC
Review: Until I received my iPAQ Compact Flash Expansion Pack, my iPAQ was just another pretty electronic organizer. I had to carefully choose each and every program and move data on and off the iPAQ just as I needed it.

Now I have the CF Expansion Pack and several Viking CF cards, a couple of at least 128 megs. I can install whole films on one of these cards, plus carry around songs, documents, games...well, just about anything.

Since CF cards draw minimal energy from the battery, they can be used for hours. Since they don't have any moving parts, they can survive the usually bumps and grinds of my day. Also, since this supports any CF card, I can share these incredible cards with my digital camera. That means I get double duty out of every card.

The one drawback for this pack is that it does not have a second battery like the PC Card Expansion pack. However, it's this configuration that allows the CF pack to be half as thick as the PC Card pack.

I also use this expansion pack with a CF modem that allows me to dial in to get e-mail, surf, and do remote support where ever there's a phone.

Vendors are coming with additional CF devices like wireless network cards and projector interfaces, so there will be more things to easily add to your iPAQ with this pack.
