any good you think? Wondering if I have to email all my usb hardware manufacturers to see if they do/will supply drivers for this.... or the only other 2 options would be:

1. Find another similar device...... anybody got clues??

2. Buy the external usb devices that are listed as compatible!!!!

I'm afraid I don't understand what USB thingie you are reffering to.
Can you clarify please?

Someone asked me about these before and although they look good, compatibilty is the major issue. You would need to get supported PPC drivers to use any of your USB devices on it. Buying the devices that are listed as compatible would probably be the best bet but might work out not being cost effective. Let us know if you take the plunge

Looks like a better built product at least. I think we will see more of these starting to appear as people demand more expansion for their PDAs. If Belkin or the like were to make one I think a lot of manufacturers of USB devices would take advantage of the new market that would open up for them. Fingers x'd
