This is a great expansion pack to own. Slide it on and "Tah ding" your connected and ready to go. I chose to go with this instead of the CF expansion pack because of the flexability of options. You can use 2 CF cards (with the use of CF card Adapters, it does come with 1), or 2 type II PC cards, or 1 CF card and 1 type II PC card, or 1 type III PC card. It also has a built in battery pack to extend how long you can use your iPAQ between charges. By the way if you have a charger for you iPAQ, which I'm sure you do, It will charge the battery in the pack at the same time you charge your iPAQ.

If you are looking for a compact expandable solution, this pack is "not" what your looking for. The straight truth is it's bulky. The pictures you see on the web make it look thin and are misleading. However if you don't mind the bulk I'm sure you'll reap the joys the flexibility of this unit will bring you.

The only reason I give this 4 stars out of 5 is I wish it had a screen cover built in so I could toss it in my bag when I'm on the go and not worry about anything buggering up the touch screen, or pausing the media player when I'm listening to MP3's.
