This looks like a useful accessory for Jornada owners. Wouldn't it be nice if all Pocket PCs had a uniform power and expansion connector? It will likely never happen, because the OEMs like to prop up the profit margins with accessory sales and when you switch Pocket PCs they want you to buy all-new accessories. A sad truth, but that's why they call it "business" and not "friendness".
"The HP Jornada Power Adapter is a universal adapter that attaches with either an AC Power adapter (AC to 5V) or a Cigarette Lighter Adapter (12VDC to 5V) with standard 4.0x1.7mm DC plug. This is a convenient accessory that lets you charge your HP Jornada on the go."
