[iPAQ] Finally, a good use for my USB cradle

I've been playing around with my iPAQ using x2x as I mentioned a few
days ago on this list. The only trick was that if I use my full
keyboard and mouse, I have to set the iPAQ flat on my desk, which is a
bad angle for viewing, (problems with both foreshortening and glare).

I've been looking around for something that could prop the device up
on my desk at a good viewing angle. I finally found a perfect
solution:

Just take the cradle that comes with the iPAQ and turn it around
backwards. Set the iPAQ into the cradle in a landscape
orientation. The bottom of the device will be supported by the arching
bulge in the silvery plastic that lets the cable pass below. The top
of the iPAQ rests nicely back onto the cradle's vertical posts.

I'm happily surprised with how well this works. The angle is just
about right and the setting is surprisingly stable.
