...When I first saw the HPiPAQrx5935TravelCompanion, I thought it resembled a GPS navigation gadget rather than a Pocket PC. This was due to the landscape orientation of the front panel, which is quite unusual. Only on closer inspection did I realise that the iPAQ actually offers much, much more and that the shiny silver body creates a false impression about the device’s true nature.

...Getting lost is my specialist subject. Unless I can be directed via public houses I can get lost as soon as I leave the end of my street. You may laugh but it is a serious concern for me as I panic when going anywhere new in the c ar. The fear of getting lost is overwhelming so paying £250 for the HPiPAQRx5935TravelCompanion was a small price to pay for a little bit of reassurance on my travels.
The specs for the Rx5935 as outlined within the instruction manual are:
-Samsung® SC32442 400 MHz processor
-2GB flash ROM / 64MB SDRAM
-SiRF Star III GSC3F GPS receiver
