I cannot decide between the PCMCIA and CF sleeves, and I don't want the big combo one.

Whichever one I get it needs to have a built in battery

And the reason I want one is:

1)Storage Space
2)Wireless Internet
3)GPS

Should I just get a CF Expansion Plus or are there any advantages of using a PCMCIA sleeve and use an adapter for flash cards? Is there any reason I would rather use a PCMCIA??

There are more PCMCIA cards available than CF cards for the devices you stated. However, not all cards are supported by PocketPC 2002.

So ...

CHoose your cards, then decide which expansion sleeeve fits the bill.

I opted for a single slot PCMCIA jacket - it has a battery - and selected mostly PCMCIA cards
- 2GB Toshiba Hard disk (for music files)
- Merlin Wireless GPRS modem
- Apollo 10/100 ethernet

The only CF card I have is a 128MB memory card in a sleeve, which I install all my apps on.

Hope this helps
