Psion Revo Plus overall review

Advantages: Fast, compact, some good aplications e.g. Word
Disadvantages: Starting to get more diifficult to find programs, and relativly fragile

...games via infrared but now Psion users are declining and so finding someone you know with a Psion can be quite difficult. When buying second hand, check the screen respnds to taps, and the keyboard works well (the keyboards keys work lose after a while) also if possible play a sound-this can help a LOT becuse a common fault with Revo's is the wire coming from the battery snapping and if when you play a sound it turns off think twice before buying. ...
...are the fact that: 1-No backlight 2-Memory not upgradeable 3-Fragile (especialy screen. The 16mb on a plus model is almost always fine becuase files take up little space on a Psion.. So if you need a keyboard but dont want a laptop and need a long battery life... the Revo may just be the ticket. ...

Review of Psion Revo Plus

HP iPaq Pocket PC hx2750 - Powerfull pocket PC

Advantages: Really smartly designed powerful PDA of latest spec.
Disadvantages: Moneywise - expensive than the other similar products avaliable in the market

HP iPaq Pocket PC hx2750 is the most powerful pocket PC available in the market in today's date. It is quite safe (security wise) and intelligently designed PDA. One feature that attracts me (again security) is under its screen it has, a narrow rectangular bar marks the fingerprint reader that comes quite handy to keep your files and applications safe and not easily accessible. Design: It is lot attractive, easier to grip/hold and it has a screen ...
...obviously stays there while in use). Just to add more in its cleaver design, which attracted me, was, along with the flip screen, it has nice and soft side cushions, which protects it from being damaged if dropped. It also has quite decent battery life and they claim that it can run for up to 4 and a half hours once fully charged. Technical spec. - I must admit it has the highest spec. we can get on a pocket PC in today's date. Here is some of ...

Review of Psion Series 5mx

Good Hardware

Advantages: Solid Build, Very Portable, Nice Feel, Cool Features, Sony Memory Stick PRO
Disadvantages: Battery life isn't great.

I bought this product recently and have been extremely impressed. Yes, I realise that I am 4 years behind the times, but its cheap now and was over £500 back then. So I see it as a bargain. First things first as a Personal Organiser this is an amazing machine, it contains all the software that you need for organising your life. But if you are looking for more than just a To-Do list, Calendar, Contacts etc. then you will need to have a quick look ...
...for Video Playing, it plays a multitude of formats very well. QuickWord and QuickSheet (Unfortunately costs money) are the Palm versions of Office Word and Excel. SplashID for everything to store secretly. pTunes for music playback (MP3s etc.). Agendus Pro to improve the Organising functions and of course Monopoly for those rather boring of times. The UX50 also has built in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth which can be very useful and the browser supplied is ...

Review of Sony CLIÉ PEG-UX50

I've got a new toy

Advantages: All the feel of Windows in a pocket size ditty
Disadvantages: Just a little bit pricey at the moment

...this entire review on my HP Jornada 568. Hopefully this introductory statement will go part the way to explaining it's incredible flexibility. You see, if you are used to spending half your life in the Microsoft Windows environment you will be right at home here. But what is it? Technically speaking it's a PDA (if you don't know what a PDA is then you probably won't be buying this little number anyway), but it does a whole lot more than just handle ...
...bit. Remember I said the HP Jornada was a windows environment. Well get this. There's no boot or shut down sequence. That's right. Switch the machine of in the middle of something important and you will lose absolutely nothing. What's more, you won't have to wait an age for scandisk to run. There is no disc to scan! This is Windows without the negatives, and that has to be good. I'm writing this on Pocket Word. Essentially it's the same as Word ...
