Re:Use that display

[merc_sa]

part of the reason that I prefer the cradle on the desk is that I actually use the PDA while
it's sitting in the cradle. And given my palmOs device is a treo270, I need to see whether an
incoming call is from somebody that I want to talk to. Having the PDA stuck in a enclosure
even with a display outside would prove awkward, since the display won't be close to eye level
and will more than probably be under a desk.

The idea is technically sound but lacking in the useability department. Now a cradle that's
stable and clings to the side of the monitor like one of those page holders would save desktop
space and allow the PDA display to be visible.. that'd be something I'd consider since it'd be
convenient and lessen the chance of the cradle getting lost in the desktop clutter *grin*

I love the pictures they show.

Oh wait, they didn't show any. In all honesty, a PDA docking station doesn't take up that much room, it's no worse than one of my speakers. Why don't they just go back to making fish tanks out of old Mac monitors?
