Which of the still available Ipaqs can be used with an expansion jacket that
will accommodate PC and/or CF cards?

I believe the iPAQ 5550 series will. I have a 5555 that I use with an
expansion jacket (the dual if you're interested). It is designed for the
PCMCIA (or whatever it's called) so you'll need an adapter for the CF cards.

None of the current iPAQ catalogue support jacket accessories. The last to
do so where the 555x range. Others that did were the 36xx, 37xx, 38xx, 39xx
and 54xx.

The 55xx is still available from HP. You will need to call and ask. It is no
longer listed on the website.

5550

But be aware... this model (the LAST to accept the PCMCIA sleeve) will
disappear on 12/31/04 according to HP.

The last available units are on the HP website.

I bought one last week with a dual sleeve to replace a dying 3650

disappears forever
You have to call to get the order entered though
