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

Palm Tungsten T (2nd hand BUYERS BEWARE)

Advantages: Brilliant when new
Disadvantages: After two years use it begins to deteriorate

the handheld this one time and Phew everything transferred back to the "T" and all was well, or so I thought. Yesterday, I turned on to find it all blank again! Hard reset again and nail biting hot sync later followed by the obligatory tap on the reset button gave me a bright screen with "Palm Powered" in the centre but nothing else and I couldn't even turn off the unit! I thought maybe it just needed more time to reset itself but three hours later it was still in the same state. It took three attempts at a Hard Reset to get it back to square one AGAIN! This time all the preloaded programmes have disappeared too, whether I can get them back using the CD provided I have yet to find out. In conclusion, a brilliant little PDA when brand new, but watch out for those first niggly signs of things going wrong after about 2 years and anybody ...

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 ...
