You guys sure that this is safe for the PDA?
I mean, sure, the x50 charging adapter might have a protector built-in that only allows 5.4v, but as far as I know, even the unit itself has one like that built in, but at least that thing inside the PDA is not designed to last long and is just to avoid any damage to the PDA due to a higher voltage for a short time. I mean, the AC adapter converts the power down to 5.4 volt, don't u guys think it's a little dangerous to supply the PDA (or at least that one little plug) with 9volt all the time, about as twice as much as what it was designed for??
