IPAQ 214 - Good product let down by poor reliability

Advantages: Ease of use
Disadvantages: Reliability and customer service

...the base of the IPAQ. HP "service" say I have made a mistake and want to charge me over £100 to repair the unit. They are not listening to customers who know there is a genuine issue with the equipment. A pity because in all other respects, the IPAQ fully satisfied my requirements, was easy to set up and use and promised to be a useful piece of equipment. I can still use it but only with the USB charging facility which is very slow and requires computer ...

HP iPAQ 114 - A fine 'basic' PDA

Advantages: Value for money, fast processor, stylus
Disadvantages: Weight (too light!), lots of pressure needed to use touch screen

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 ...

Loox no further for a PDA

Advantages: Small, lightweight, easy use
Disadvantages: Slow GPS, No navigation software

I had been looking for a small, powerful PDA for a while and managed to narrow my searches down to a short list of just two. I had a few specific requirements in mind such as a good, clear screen, GPS, a fast processor and sufficient memory. So in the end it was a toss up between the Acer N311 and the Pocket Loox N560… The two aforementioned PDAs were very similar in specification, but the N560 just shaded it on memory and power, which was what ...
...it has not disappointed. The screen is a bright and clear 3.5" touch sensitive screen (as you would expect with a PDA), and is very responsive and accurate when you are using the stylus. I would recommend getting some screen protectors as it can get dirty and greasy very easily (I would point at this point though, getting hold of these kinds of accessories has proven a little difficult as most major and well known suppliers don't seem to stock products ...

An Organiser By Any Other Name

Advantages: Looks a lot dearer than it is. Links to PC for proper typing
Disadvantages: Currency converter limited to €.

...with various budget brands, Sharp, Oregon etc, all promising the PC link as an optional extra, but which, on trying to get hold of one from the original dealer, always failed to materialise. To a certain extent, this didn’t matter too much since I only ever wanted an organiser to act as an address book for me, and possibly a currency translator. Losing my data and having to start all over again at a later date was a bit of a chore though. Then ...
...to from a PC. The Oregon Scientific PDA188 is exactly what I’ve been looking for. At £20, it is DEFINITELY what I’ve been looking for! You can also buy it packaged by Boots at the moment for the same price. So what do you get for your £20? - 256K of memory* touch-screen organiser, with Telephone Number\Address Book, Scheduler, Memo Pad, International Time\Alarm Clock, Calendar, Calculator and Currency Converter. *Curiously, the Boots version claims ...

Axim X51

Advantages: Does everything you want in a PDA
Disadvantages: Problems turning on sometimes

I have been the proud owner of my Axim x51 for just over a year now. I use it to keep my work diary, surf the net and i use it for sat nav using tomtom software. It is very easy to use and has 2 card slots one for SD cards and one for compact flash. I use both at the same time. The speed of the system is good and as long as you use memory cards you can store whatever you want. It comes with a charging cradel which you can link with your pc and use ...
