This isn't earth shattering or anything, but the iPaq 36xx (and I suppose
the 37xx since it's got the same connectors IIRC) AC adapter will work with
the Dell cradles. the iPaq shows a 5V output and the Dell cradle shows a
5.4V input. An 8% difference. I just tried it.
I'm willing to bet the iPaq 36xx/37xx AC adapters are a heck of a lot
cheaper than the Dell ones...
Also I'd also bet it's a lot easier to find an AC adapter with a center
positive 5V output than what seems to me an oddball 5.4V
Now, does anyone have an extra AC adapter for an iPaq? I got my X50v at a
pawn shop in perfect condition for $185 with tax, but all I got was the
cradle and Outlook 2002 CD. Oh well, for that price....
