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 ...

This is my modern swiss army knife.

Advantages: Low Price, Excellent Functionality, Expansion Slots
Disadvantages: Getting a little old

I have owned and used this daily for over two years without a single problem. If you want the specs look elsewhere if you want to know what it can do read on... I do like my gadgets but this has been truely useful and cost effective. I originally bought it to keep track of contacts and my diary. But I now know it can do so much more. I bought a keyboard so I can type notes on the train and it is a lot smaller than a laptop and the battery life ...
...for text notes. (No Laptop, Saved £1000) I bought an SD card for storage and can now play MP3's but it doesn't stop there. I got an Ap for my PC that allows DVD to be compressed and stored on 128MB or 256MB cards. I have just been to france and had a couple of my sons DVDs on cards so he could watch while abroad. (No portable DVD player, Saved £150) It has built-in Bluetooth as well so I bought a USB bluetooth dongle (100m version) and can now ...

still one of the best PDA's available

Advantages: Long battery life, excelent screen, lots of ram
Disadvantages: breakable stylus, expensive, no Windows Mobile 5, poor camera lens

I have had this device for over 2 years now and it is still one of, if not the best PDAs available. the VGA screen is incredibly sharp, has a bright backlight (adjustable) and good colour reproduction. the viewing angles are good, but not so good as the HP hx4700. battery lasts 1-2 days of usage personally (bits of wifi, BT, video and games as well as general note taking etc) and about 5 hours of constant heavy use. the processor is fast enough, ...
...of the few PDAs to have 128MB RAM which means you can have many applications open without too much slowdown and memory issues. i personally love the jog-dial it has for 1 handed use,but rarely use the camera altho it's much better than my phones. all round excelent PDA if you have no need for cell phone functions ...

HP iPAQ Pocket PC H5450

Advantages: Fingerprint Scanner, WIFI
Disadvantages: Size, Battery

HP iPAQ Pocket PC H5450 The Hewlett Packard IPAQ H5450 is one of the first PDA's ever supporting WIFI. It is one of the more older Pocket pc's still available today. This PDA also boosts Bluetooth An Ir for transferring files between devises. A fingerprint scanner for added security is also added which works very well indeed. the devise itself is strong and feels stable, the battery life is OK with at leased a full days use. This Pocket PC is definitely ...
