This award-winning PDA or Palm top computer has a solid combination of productivity and small form factor. Hosting a SDIO slot, it is capable supporting SD/MMC standard type memory cards meaning you can use the memory card to hold up to 2GB of data, more then enough for hundreds of documents. You will always be on top of scheldule with the handy and well designed 'to-do' list and ensuring that the device is not just for work purposes, the device quite cleverly stores and plays music, videos and photos. For the more chatty amongst us, the HP iPAQ also comes with MSN Messanger.

Featuring Windows Mobile 2003 SE, the menus and functions aren't that different from a standard PC, meaning getting use to the HP iPAQ is no problem at all. However, if you do manage to come across a problem, the 'Getting started guide' will provide the essential information needed to overcome the problem. The generously sized 3.5" 64k TFT screen is very detailed and crisp and using the pen to navigate around, accessing menus is very simple. It has a handy integrated microphone and speaker for built-in voice functionality.

So why would I want to buy one you say. Well things have never been easier. Imagine having your PC in your pocket and you get the idea. I can access the internet, write documents, watch videos, listen to music, take pictures of the scenery and most importantly, keep organised on the move. Forget diarys, do they tell you when you should be somewhere? No, but the HP iPAQ does. This device will keep your organised for years to come, and if you think thats not good enough, wait until you see the price.
