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 ...

Cool kit but be careful of the common problems

Advantages: Versatality, VFM and free software availiable for Palm OS
Disadvantages: Known issues and glitches

...to be converted for the palm screen but when converted properly (try VemoDe, totally free palm video convertor) they play very well. -The on screen keyboard shortcut doesn't work after a while meaning you have to use the character recognition, which thankfully works quite well! But on the plus side, there are tonnes of free programs and games availiable for it, an excellent mp3 player which can play for a very long time before the battery runs ...

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 ...

Palm Zire - the basics of handheld computing

Advantages: easy to use, lots of programs, everything you need is supplied with the unit
Disadvantages: no backlight, only 2MB of memory

I've had my Palm Zire for around about two years now and it was great value for money when I got it (£20 in the bargain basement section of Woolworths) and I have used it on and off every day since. The software that comes pre installed is quite useful and it is very easy to find additional software on the internet. The unit itself ships with a CD containing the Palm Desktop software for synchronising the Zire with the computer, which means that ...
...Palm handheld and the information that was on your zire can be copied to that very easily. The unit also contains a usb cable and a protective screen. The zire is very small and will fit into most pockets without leaving a massive bulge. The internal memory isn't very good (2MB) and the screen is not backlit, but if you only want something to save phone details and your appointments on, the Zire can more than cope with those tasks. The range of ...
