No Cd with purchase of Ipaq 1930

Archived from groups: comp.sys.handhelds (More info?)

Hi,

I have just purchased a used Ipaq 1930 and it has come with no CD. I
run Outlook 2002 on my PC, what software will I actually need to operate
the unit correctly?

Is this software available free for download or will I have to purchase?

I'm not after a freebie, I just want to get the IPAQ working correctly.

Really looking forward to using the IPAQ having been a PALM addict for
the past 7 years!

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the info, sounds pretty plain to me. I didn't ask why there
was no CD with the device but the fact that it comes with all cables,
power supply, a case and a memory card gives me the feeling that all is
genuine. I'm fairly confident that all is OK.
