Questions about expansion packs and upgrades

I just recieved a IPAQ 3630 and plan on using it mainly as a gps device. The gps reciever I have is a PS/2 connection. I also wanted to upgrade the ram and hard drive memory, do I need the compact flash expansion sleeve or anything else for that matter?

You can upgrade the internal memory, but there is no "hard drive" to upgrade. The memory IS the hard drive so-to-speak.
As far as the CF sleeve goes, you will need it for GPS, additional storage (memory cards), WiFi, etc.

1. There are leads connecting the PS/2 to the IPAQ - some with car loading.

2. Ram and "har drive" - I guess what you mean is more ram. The best way I assume is a compact flash expansion sleeve, as it seems to be a rather difficult thing to add on-board ram. If I am right, there is no expansion card slot on the 3630, so the sleeve is really the only practical option.

If you are Irish as from Ireland, I can get you a couple of good European links.
