There's nothing wrong with this adapter. Period. (Except the packaging is a little hard to open- well, maybe really hard).
The picture shown in the description is not what this looks like- the adapter to plug it in directly to the handheld can come off if you want to use a cradle or keyboard to charge your handheld. I bought an Ipaq 5455 and it's the same adapter that came with it. Very handy to have for any PocketPC owner.

This product has performed well and has been very durable. I bought it quite some time ago and it is still working fine.

As the titel says, this appears to be exactly the same charger that comes with the cradle. The reason for only one star is, like the cradle adapter, the end where it plugs into the iPAC is two pieces. The end of the cord is terminated with the round plug that will plug into the Cradle. That then plugs into an adapter which actually plugs into the bottom of the iPAC. What this does when all hooked up is produce this huge "thing" attached to the bottom of the iPAC.

I bought the AC Adaptor so I can read in bed at night, using Microsoft Reader, without running the battery down. Having this huge charger attachment sticking out the bottom of the iPAC is a real bother and agrivation, as it alters the "feel" of the iPAC and just generally makes me mad. I only use it when I have to, when the battery goes too far down from reading a particularly long time and I want to keep reading. Otherwise, it just collects dust. On top of it all, it isn't necessary and you can save yourself some money, as one can just use the AC adaptor for the Cradle as it is identical in every way to this item.
