An excellent Pocket PC at a bargain price!

Advantages: Power - Value - Screen
Disadvantages: Backup battery - Lack of WiFi

...First of all, for anyone looking to buy one of these, it's worth noting that this little gem is EXACTLY the same as the iPAQ H1945. The only difference between the H1940 and the H1945 is one was originally sold in the USA and the other destined for the European market. Okay, now that we've resolved an issue that caused me great confusion, let's get down to business. This is a cracking little Pocket PC that should not be overlooked. It's a bargain price for a start; I picked up mine on eBay 2 years ago for £40! It's particularly sleek by comparison to lots of more expensive PDA's, slim and light too. The screen is great too with bright, vibrant colours. I've used this as a GPS unit mostly with the help of TomTom and a Bluetooth GPS receiver. It has no problems using TomTom Navigator 6 and with the help of a 2GB SD card has helped me...

Handy Pocket PC phone with camera

Advantages: Handy size, Sleek look, Large screen
Disadvantages: No physical keypad, Short stylus takes getting used to

...generally wider. That's where the imate JAM really scored when it was introduced in the market. The imate JAM is only 5.8 cm wide x 10.8 cm long x 1.81 cm high, about 1/3rd smaller in size than comparable PDAs, which means that it is handy enough to be used as a phone. Smartphones were the other alternative to consider, but were ruled out because they did not quite match up to the rich features provided by a PDA phone, though the distinction is becoming more and more blurred every day. Another important decision to make when you are thinking of buying a PDA is whether you want to go for a Palm or a Pocket PC. We very naturally preferred the Pocket PC with Microsoft technology, since however much many of us might loathe the company, the reality is Microsoft software is so ubiquitous that you have to think twice before buying into any non...

**Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC H3950**

Advantages: Great Transflective Screen and amazingly fast processor
Disadvantages: Over priced

...º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤ºHP iPAQ Pocket PC H3950 º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`° This is a great handheld pocket PC and what's more, you can carry it around with you wherever you go. Just think of all of the things you can do with a compact computer at the palm of your hands. Write documents and notes when you need to, particularly great when organising your life to put it simpler. I mean, it's far better then a diary because if you're anything like me, you probably end up misplacing your diary and I wouldn't dare think of losing my pocket PC. You can easily access the internet from wherever you are, if you need to look up tube/train times at last minute, you can. If you perhaps want to just research something at a particular moment for example in a pub quiz - I'm not saying you should cheat at pub quizzes or anything - well they're easy anyway...

I Got One Tank In My Pocket...

Advantages: Small (Fits on a memory key no problems)
Disadvantages: Too playable! Can't stop it

...Pocket Tanks is one of those of frustratingly addictive little games along the lines of Yeti Sports; small, simple graphics and game play but totally unstoppable when you start to play it! Loading the game you would be forgiven for thinking you've loaded a small child's game; the graphics are very cartoony, all big and bright. But don't let that put you off. For those who have never played the original Tanks the premises is a simple one; shoot the other tank and score as many points as possible using various types of ammunition. Starting the game you're presented with the option of a one or two-player game and Target Practice. If this is the first time you've ever played Target practice would be a decent place to begin. One Player Game: /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ Starting a One Player game you will be asked which...

Ipaq, Pocket your Pocket PC

Advantages: small, light weight, cheap
Disadvantages: no bluetooth, small memory

...This was my frist ever hand held PC! I was absolutely amazed by it's processing power and capabilities as a really small computer system. This comes with 64mb of ram however quite alarge amount of this gets taken up by the sytem itself, so in essence you can only really store two mp3 albums on it's internal memory alone. This wouldn't be an ideal MP3 player or movie player, it'd have to be strictly work and documents! There are many add on programs that you can get for these little critters, my favorite is SPB Pocket plus, you can then add themes, wallpapers and all the system info is included on the desktop. The problem with this compared to todays new PDAs is that it doesn't have wireless or bluetooth connectivity which is a bit of a downside if your using it in conection with your pcs at home or at work and if you want to...

Must read - HP iPAQ Pocket PC Rz1710 explained

Advantages: Cheap, small, productive and capabilities
Disadvantages: Lacks intergrated bluetooth and wi-fi

...This award-winning PDA or Palm top computer has a solid combination of productivity and small form factor. Hosting a SDIO slot, it is capable supporting SD/MMC standard type memory cards meaning you can use the memory card to hold up to 2GB of data, more then enough for hundreds of documents. You will always be on top of scheldule with the handy and well designed 'to-do' list and ensuring that the device is not just for work purposes, the device quite cleverly stores and plays music, videos and photos. For the more chatty amongst us, the HP iPAQ also comes with MSN Messanger. At 70 x 13.4 x 114 mm and weighing only 120 grams, its thin and light enough to slip into the inside of a suit pocket quite comfortably. It features IrDA so if you have PC or Laptop which features IR, which a lot of laptops do, then transferring files suddenly...

The wonderful world of the Pocket PC!

Advantages: Size, flexibility and connectivity
Disadvantages: Software downloads can be expensive

...extra accessories as often happens with so many of this type of product. The unit itself is a treat to behold, the green eyed envy of several of my colleagues bears testiment to this, and delivers form and function in equal measures to provide an absolute gem which snugly fits into your inside suit pocket. The large, bright screen is a pleasure to look at and the familiar windows logo in the top left hand corner sets you at ease immediately. Having used the Psion (including it's 'unique' PC connectivity software for so long), I was surprised by the astonishing ease with which the iPAQ connected and synchronized with my PC (although I suspect I shouldn't have been). My contacts, appointments, emails etc all appeared immediately which just enhanced my satisfaction in my choice of PDA even further. Having reached the point...
