RE: Thought of the day : HA with a Pocket PC ?

[Simon Kennedy <stonewolfsoft@xxxxxxx>]

Current Palms come with a nice angled docking station
with either serial or USB connections. You could mount
the docking station at an angle (so the palm lies
slightly backward) into a wall with a clear plastic
cover over the bottom half to stop it from
falling/being knocked out.

Nice handy removeable home control solution.

Simon Kennedy
