Palm Tungsten vs Ipaq, sayonara Ipaq

Advantages: small, fast, sexy, best palm ever
Disadvantages: relatively high price

I never thought I would make the case for a palm handheld from 3com. I used to be a dedicated Ipaq fan but got increasingly disappointed with it. So I decided to take a bold step and try out the new Palm Tungsten. In one word: AMAZING! I will compare, wherever possible the Tungsten with the Ipaq. Note that I am comparing the new Tungsten with my previously owned Ipaq 3850. For exact specifications of both PDA's I refer you to the www.palm.com and www.compaq.com Look and feel I always found the Ipaq sexy, but it is still a bit bulky. The Palm is not much lighter (6.2 oz vs 5.6 oz for the palm), but much smaller (length 4'' vs 5'' for the Ipaq). This is due to the fact that the bottom slides open to reveal the grafiti writing area. The garfite colored aluminium casing feels much more sturdy than the aluminium looking, though plastic ...

Review of Palm Tungsten T

Dont stick your Tungsten at me, I Palm you up!

Advantages: Slim, large screen, portable, sexy, like a super model turned into a PDA
Disadvantages: Battery life, ugly interface, sounds like a dying giraffe sometimes

constantly it's 3 hours, that's very dissapointing since the Palm is not that fast. I am glad it's not a pacemaker. So flaws aside what can this piece of technology do? Well you can view your pictures with it, you can edit your Office Word/Excel/Powerpoint files on it, listen to MP3s, watch videos, take quick notes, organise your day, surf the internet (when it has internet access) and read ebooks with it. All this straight out of the box without purchasing extra software. There are also games on the device and emulators that let you play console games i.e. Gameboy Advance, so that's very tempting (you must own game to be legally allowed to play it on the Palm) but they will need downloading or purchasing. This device really is a mini box of tricks, I actually wrote this review on my Tungsten E before uploading it here. Not to shabby don't you ...

Review of Palm Tungsten E

Palm Tungsten E

Advantages: great value for money, expandable memory, great range of features
Disadvantages: larger screens avaliable and has been outgrown

The palm tungsten E was the first ever PDA i bought. I have had it around 2-3 years now and it has been fantastic. It has a 320 x 320 resolution screen and 32mb internal memory and a SD slot to expand memory which i think is an essential. This model comes with a CD with an MP3 player, video player and converter, microsoft word excel and powerpoint for palm, a pdf and ebook reader aswell as many games and other programs. It has a good silver finish and is excellent value for money, the palm system is very good and there is a range of programs avaiable for free, as well as ones which you can buy. The interface is very simple and the tutorials make it impossible to go wrong! id advise any first time pda buyer to try this one! very impressed. ...
