Kensington PDA Powering System battery charger

Advantages: Lots of features and wi-fi/bluetooth
Disadvantages: A little expensive and bad battery life

...I bought my PDA from ebay, for a discount price; I didn't want to pay a lot of money for a PDA and I wanted a really good one. The hx2490 comes with Windows mobile 5.0 which is the newer version of the windows CE operating system. The processor is slightly faster than it's predecessors and has wifi and bluetooth aswell. This means that you can quickly use any wireless station and hook into that network, or transfer documents to your phone or computer for example. It comes with a USB charger and a protective cover as well as many other cool gadgets like the docking station. I use my PDA every day and have had no problems with it, of course I have dropped it many times like I do many things and it still manages to work. I think I would replace it if I did damage it but I don't think I would pay the full price for one. Unfortunately... Read review

There are many ways to conserve battery power, and if you put everything on a low power setting, then it is possible for you to achieve the 8 hours. Recharging does not take very long, and when it is connected via the USB docking station, it will automatically start to recharge (and is still usable). In summary, if you are after a powerful, small and compact PDA with many features I would strongly recommend the N560. Apart from a couple of small issues, which you could probably expect from a PDA with as many features, and that can be applied to so many different scenarios, then it is worth the money (£330 was the price tag for mine), and it comes with enough software (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint plus the usual software you would expect to find with a Windows operating system) to allow you...

...on the base of the docking station. When it 'syncs' any changes you have made to the programme on your PDA or PC will be exchange, so that each is constantly up to date. This is great if you ever need to print a copy off of your diary, memo's etc.. you can do it from your computer. Also you never have to worry about losing your information, because it is always backed up ont he computer. There is a 'stand alone' programme on CD for your PDA when using the computer, or you can use with Microsoft Outlook, whichever you prefer. Because I use it so much the battery is front. Information that you have updated either on your PC or on your PDA seamlessly update each other. I keep my charger on my desk at work, so have had to buy a charger for my home, as well as a charger for the car. I bought those cheaply on ebay, less than £10 each. If you... Read review
