I just received the product and found that the cable is not compatible with my iPAQ 3835. Amazon.com shows this product under accessories for the 3835 but it does not work.

There are two problems with this kit. One is the fact that the synch connector is not compatible with the iPAQ 3835, and this bit of information is missing from the product description. The other is the I did not get a stylus/pen combination, I got a simple stylus. So, if you own a 3800 series iPAQ, stay away from this product.

The connector to synch the iPaq with a PC is not compatible with an iPaq 3835, this bit of information is missing from the product description. The kit also comes with a plain stylus, not the pen/stylus combination. If you have a 3800 series iPaq, you should stay away from this product.

Neither the USB sync cable nor the case or the stylus was compatible with my iPaq 3715. The stylus did not fit, the case turned out to be only for use with the H3800 series, useless with mine, and the sync cable did not fit at all.

Please will amazon make it clear what is compatible with what!

The new Compaq 38xx iPAQs that just came out have a different power/data interface from the older models. As of 3/11/02, Targus does not offer a USB adapter compatible with the 38xx series, so I doubt this is compatible. I am unable to verify this, so gave it an "average" rating - I cannot address how well it would work with the older models.
