Just wanted to update anyone that might be interested… I received my 5455 yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon. I’ve had no time to play with it yet though. Darned day job is getting in the way lately!

Product Requirements: Device: Compaq iPAQ 3600, 3700, 3800, 3900 and 5000 series. If you are an iPAQ owner worth your salt, the initials GM will not mean General Motors to you!
