Digital camera reviews of Sharp Zaurus SL-5500 CE-ST7 Docking Station

Digital camera Review: Fantastic charger, works perfectly.
Summary: 5 Stars

But, as for a review of the docking station itself: It's great. It plugs into a USB port in the back of your PC (or Mac?). With the driver CD, you set up all of the appropriate drivers and it actually sets up a TCP/IP connection via the USB port to the device in the cradle. You can ping the device and connect to it through other means... very cool stuff. Just SSH into it, or run VNC!

You also use the additional power cord, and plug this docking station into the outlet. You can then charge your Zaurus just by putting it in its docking cradle... (which is why you'd need that extra one at work!) This is pretty standard stuff, but it's still worth mentioning.

All of the software set up flawlessly for me on Windows 2000, and I've had no hardware problem at all. Definitely a solid unit. A necessary accessory for one of the best PDAs out there.
