Re: charging PDA's
Hi No. If your device supports charging via USB, it will immediately begin to charge when plugged into any powered USB port. It doesn't matter what the os on the host is, all the device needs is for the connection to be established so it can draw the power it needs.

Re: charging PDA's
Will, you should be able to charge any usb device on the Mac. As you well know, the usb on the Mac is standard. So this really would be a feature concerned with your device itself. For future reference, really these sorts of questions that are essentially non-Mac related and more about Windows Mobile devices really need to be directed more toward their respective lists.

Cara can you tell us the name of these lists? On Mar 15, 2009, at 11:09 AM, Cara Quinn wrote: Will, you should be able to charge any usb device on the Mac.

Re: charging PDA's
sorry, -not going to do that on the list. smile My door is always open, write me privately and the info is yours! smile Listers whom have speech on their mobile devices are most likely already familiar with the lists those screen reader companies provide, so this is way OT for this list. Now, if we just could get an accessible IPhone happening, then we'd be way on topic!… lol!

Re: charging PDA's
Hi, There is a tidbit of Mac and USB info to share here though. Low voltage in a USB series can cause devices not to charge or function properly. What I mean by a series is a chain of connected USB devices that run off a single USB powered bus. So for example, if you have a power hungry device plugged into the keyboard, along with a mouse, depending on the voltage requirements of the USB device, you may not have enough to charge it or allow it to operate properly. Note that some USB drive enclosures have double USBBplugs. This is solely to draw extra power from the USB bus in order to power the hard drive. In general, My suggestion is to run such things off of a powered USB hub and avoid daisy chaining USB devices other than keyboard and mouse whenever possible.. And this applies to any system.

Re: charging PDA's
Hi Scott Very true, this is why all of my stationary USB hubs are always self- powered by their own AC adapter. There's only so much power a USB port can provide. One very nice feature of OS X is that it will let you know when this occurs. When a USB device cannot draw the required amount of power, you'll get a nice little dialog to that effect. You'll also get one if for some reason the device draws too much power or if the USB port surges.
