"This mod I came up with allows you to place your PPC at an angle in landscape orientation. I mostly use it to watch movies without having to hold the PPC in my hands or balance it between a book and any available weights -- usually the airline magazines on long plane rides. By moving the slug up and down the back of the PPC you can easily adjust the viewing angle. All you have to do is cut a small slit in one corner of your CF slug and then slide the slit over the outer body of your PPC. I am using this with a 4705 but I believe it should also work with other CF equipped models. A Dremel with a reinforced cutting wheel makes this mod super easy." Pocket PC Thoughts reader, Tye, has conceived an interesting iPAQ hx4705 hack job that effectively permits the device to stand up at an angle, without the use of hands! Here are a few more images: Tye This seems to work great, as long as you have no problems with "messing around" with the bits and pieces of your device. Does anyone else have any other interesting hack jobs worth sharing to the community? Source: Tye

LOL. That frist pict I'm getting Newton flashbacks.

I would take it that if you have a CF card in there, it won't work, huh?

Yah that was the first thing which came to mind which makes watching a movie problematic. Hence the reason its a good idea to get a honkingly large SD card.

I just keep the little stand from my stowaway BT keyboard handy. I keep it closed with a heavy rubber band.



I keep my 1Gb SD in at all times, but only have 128Mb free on it, but keep my 4Gb Microdrive in at all times, but usually have around 2.5Gb free.

I did the SD storage mod on the blank adapter, but didn't like it too well.

If I had that 4gb compactflash card, I would never spoil the moment with any free space. Do you want to send that poor, wasted baby to me?
