HP iPaq 114 Classic
Background
HP's iPAQ 114 Classic is amongst one of the newest models released by HP in its completely overhauled range. This new series of PDAs consists of; the 100 & 200 series which are basic PDAs running on Windows Mobile 6.0, the 300 series (which has built in GPS) and the 600 & 900 series which have built in cellular phones and GPS system.
I am reviewing a model which sits in the 100 series.
What's in the box
The list ... ...etc
Overview
The HP iPAQ 114 has had a bit of a face lift when comparing it with older revisions of the iPAQ family however it still manages to keep the well known shape and layout common to most iPAQs past and present. The brushed metal effect with chrome buttons is pleasing to the eye yet it doesn't look too cheap and tacky.
Notable specifications for the HP iPAQ 114 are as follows;
- Windows Mobile 6 Classic operating system
- Marvell 624Mhz ...

Advantages: Small and Compact while runs smoothly Disadvantages: Can be prone to crashing if using high spec software
I recently purchased this IPAQ, and after a couple of months of use have no doubts that I have made a good choice.
Along with a decent sized SD card the IPAQ can act as any number of items that are individually available such as and mp3/ mp4 player, Sony PSP, a phone (I recommend Skype PDA), and even as a universal remote. As previously stated, this PDA can crash if too many programs run at once, which is not hard to do as a majority of the software ... ...sized SD card (512 MB +) is used for most of the added software and files, crashing can be avoided fairly easily.
The IPAQ also includes a flash card slot which allows the user to insert a wireless internet card, the connection then available is usually quite fast as it doesn't connect to Desktop PC websites but a downsized version.
The 3.5 inch touch screen has settings which are simple to manipulate such as brightness of the back light, sharpness ...

Advantages: Powerful, fast, sleek Disadvantages: Getting programs into the system
...I have bought from the HP site.
Another problem with it is that its really hungry on power. I find it runs down its charge quite quickly. Its important that you get a case for it to stop it scratching, and get extra pens for it, as they tend to go missing, or maybe its just me.
I have it connected through my wifi and its superb little browser, both at home outside when I want to check email. Make sure if you use the client that you use an imap ... ...its good but it was HP for me due to the backup of HP and most importantly the WiFi capability and MS suite of software that came with it. You get Ms Word and Ms Excel, so you can read your docs on the run and also produce material which you can use on your desktop or note book later on. This is real power computing on the small manageable mobile platform.
I bought it in my local PC World, in Sprucefield. They were inexperienced and not really able ...
