Main Entry: sleeve
Pronunciation: 'slEv
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English sleve, from Old English slIefe; perhaps akin to Old English slEfan to slip (clothes) on, sl'upan to slip, Old High German sliofan, Latin lubricus slippery
Date: before 12th century
1 a : a part of a garment covering an arm b : SLEEVELET
2 a : a tubular part (as a hollow axle or a bushing) designed to fit over another part b : an open-ended flat or tubular packaging or cover; especially : JACKET

So in the case of PPCs, it's something that slides onto the PPC and adds more functionality and features. The iPAQ (apparently) pioneered the sleeve system, and has the most of them. Casio also has some sleeves for their PPCs, which include an extended battery and a PCMCIA card adapter.

I think he said "sleve" and not "sleeve", one 'e'. Maybe a typo?

typo (but not noticed until now)
