Illuminated stylus for HP H5500 PocketPC

[LightChucker]

This looks cool - I might just have to buy one for my H5555.

illuminated Stylus

The down side of this is the expensive, weird batteries:

These are used in those German-made, flashlights I have seen at Cabela's, Target, and Eddie Bauer. Does anyone know a cheaper source for these? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I thought about getting one of these, but then I thought "But my PocketPC is all lit up, in dark environments the dimmest setting is almost too bright...so I don't really need one of these."

Here is a link to the Belkin Quadra Pen/Sylus/Laser Pointer/LED Flashlight/Kitchen Sink that was discussed on CPF a while back. I bought two directly from Belkin and the 4 button cells last quite a while. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
I really like the small size they were able to make the Quadra. Some multi-function pens are so large in diameter that they are not comfortable for me to use. Belkin has raised the price on-line however from $19.99 to $24.99 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif
The LED is what you would expect from a 3mm white LED. The Laser Pointer has good range for common uses (claimed 500 yards). The Stylus and Ball Point pen are accessed by rotating the end of the pen, one direction for the pen, and then rotate the opposite direction for the stylus. The pen is re-fillable, and the white plastic stylus, when removed from it's holder has a small PDA reset pin on the opposite end. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif
