In Brief: IPaq Flash Crash
Feeling disconnected from your IPaq? You're not alone. Many owners of Compaq IPaq H3600-series Pocket PCs have been complaining for months that their handheld devices do not recognize some CompactFlash 56-kbps modem cards, including cards from New Media Tech and Kingston.
Compaq recently released a software patch for the glitch. The patch also fixes abnormal behavior of the IPaq's e-book reader. For example, the reader's page-scroll feature wasn't functioning properly.
The 1MB patch is identified as version 1.00A or later. At press time, Compaq said it was working on a ROM upgrade that will include this particular patch.
