An iPAQ Hack Attack
Posted by Darius Wey in "THOUGHT" @ 12:30 AM
"This mod I came up with allows you to place your PPC at an angle in landscape orientation. I mostly use it to watch movies without having to hold the PPC in my hands or balance it between a book and any available weights -- usually the airline magazines on long plane rides. By moving the slug up and down the back of the PPC you can easily adjust the viewing angle. All you have to do is cut a small slit in one corner of your CF slug and then slide the slit over the outer body of your PPC. I am using this with a 4705 but I believe it should also work with other CF equipped models. A Dremel with a reinforced cutting wheel makes this mod super easy."
Pocket PC Thoughts reader, Tye, has conceived an interesting iPAQ hx4705 hack job that effectively permits the device to stand up at an angle, without the use of hands!

This seems to work great, as long as you have no problems with "messing around" with the bits and pieces of your device. Does anyone else have any other interesting hack jobs worth sharing to the community?
