They extend from 6" up to 35", weigh only a couple of ounces and will sync and charge your unit.

ScottEVest - Tec Hat (Qty 5) - The Greatest Baseball Cap Ever: TEC Hat' is a great looking baseball cap with two hidden pockets, hidden earloops, and CoolMax® mesh interior. We feel strongly that The Greatest Baseball Cap Ever! should look like an old favorite, even when it is brand new. So, the fabric is designed to age, giving the cap a vintage feel. Each cap will quickly become unique - a true collector’s item.
Vaja Cases - $100 Gift Certificat (Qty 1) - A Vaja case is a work of art. I don’t know how they do it, but they make a leather case that is soft, supple, almost sensuous to the touch, and still tough as nails. They have several major “series” of cases for most devices, including the more traditional flip-cover type cases, and the i-Volution. The i-Volution is like no other case I’ve ever seen; it’s a stiff—hard even—shell that fits around the device, yet it still has a soft, almost padded fine italian leather surface. If you hold it in your hand, empty, you can squeeze the case and it will barely deform.
WebIS - Pocket Informant, WebIS Mail, Web IS Money (Qty 15) - Pocket Informant replaces your built in Contacts / Calendar / Tasks applications with more powerful, yet simple, full featured versions along with cool additions in one fully integrated application. This means that we sync with Outlook and ActiveSync, or third party Sync solutions. WebIS Mail provides SSL POP3/IMAP, SOCKS support, GMail, HTML email, Separate authentication for incoming and outgoing mail, powerful notifications, character sets, and SO much more! Web IS Money is an innovative entry-level finance application for the Pocket PC. Its purpose is to be simple, easy to use, and accurate for basic checkbook activities. It also contains budgeting, expenses, templates, and graphing.
Xantrex - XPower Micro Inverter (Qty 1) - The ideal mobile office companion from Xantrex, XPower Micro Inverter 175 is the smallest 175-watt power inverter on the market today. It incorporates high-frequency technology to convert power from a vehicle's battery (12-volt DC) into standard utility power (115-volt AC, 60 Hz). By plugging the XPower Micro Inverter 175 into a vehicle's lighter socket, users can conveniently recharge and run electronic devices such as cell phones, camcorders, laptop computers, PDAs, 13" TV/VCRs and computer games - without the need for multiple adaptors.
