Thumb drive to PDA?

[Janset]

Hi all.

Just a small question that I hope can be answered to my liking, if not I will just pull the chain on my life :rolleyes:

I have a beaut 512 MB USB stick that I use on my PC/Laptop.

Is there anyway that I can connect or use the USB stick with my iPAQ 3800 series?

Regards :D

Short answer is no, unlike Toshiba pocketpc, ipaq does not have usb host port. There is a way but you will need compact flash sleeve and a $139 USB host adapter cf card;

Thanks answerdude.

That was my suspicion............unfortunately. I guess it will have to be CF or SD cards then.

If you don't have built-in SD/CF card reader in your laptop, the cheapest sollution is a USB card reader.

Hi GPSfan

I have a 6 -1 card reader thanks. I was just checking to see if I could use the stick also.
