Mobile media for mobile me

Advantages: Stay connected
Disadvantages: Need to buy SD memory card

...listen to music on the go, via either Windows Media player or Nevo media player. You can also use the latter feature to watch videos or view photographs. These can be photographs you?ve transferred to the mobile PC or have taken with the in-built camera. I never even noticed the camera when I bought the device. It was only when I took it out the box found this! The camera can take pictures of reasonably good quality ? 1.2megapixel ? which is OK for viewing on screen but too low for me to consider printing. Now I must be completely honest here and say that while my handheld PC has all the capability mentioned above, I?ve no yet determined how to use it fully. Apparently, you can stream music and video as well as listen to stuff copied to the memory. I can do the latter and have done the former but don?t know how to do it again! I...

Handy Pocket PC phone with camera

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

...phones that can replace cameras are still some time in the future. The imate JAM's camera allows you to take pictures with different light settings and colour schemes like sepia, black and white, etc., provides a 2x digital zoom and also allows video capture in MPEG-4 and AVI format. Speaking of multimedia, the device also allows you to record audio notes which is quite a handy feature. ** PDA features ** The imate JAM comes loaded with the Windows Mobile 2003 operating system. The standard PDA features like organiser with tasks, calendar, notes, contacts which can all be synchronised with your PC using Microsoft Outlook are available. Contacts synchronisation is a standard feature in all PDAs and most smartphones and it means no more troubles of having to maintain multiple address books. The imate JAM also has Pocket Word...

Review of IMate JAM GSM/GPRS Pocket PC

The best pocket PC

Advantages: Can do everything on the go using a lightweight, easy to use and compact device.
Disadvantages: Takes time to set up and SD cards are required for more memory.

...find it way too complicated so I just do it all manually (explained above) • iPaq wireless (infrared and Bluetooth) - this is one of the best features of the PDA because without it you wouldn't be able to connect to the internet and msn messenger or transfer files between devices (such as mobile phones or other pocket PC's) • Windows media player for pocket PC's - which is pretty much exactly the same as the media player you find on a desktop or laptop computer but without some of the more advanced features. You can use media player to listen to music (mp3 and wma files) or watch films which need to be converted into mpeg's and put onto an SD card (memory card) which is inserted into the back of the PDA. So the PDA has all of these wonderful features but what are the down points? Well to be honest, there aren't many down...

Pocket sized portability with the Asus Eee Pc 701

Advantages: Price, size, portability
Disadvantages: Processor power, memory capacity

...The ASUS EEE PC 701 model is an extremely affordable, small and portable netbook with a 7" screen and built in wifi card designed primarily for internet use. The standard model comes with a built in 2 gigabyte solid state hard drive and comes in a variety of colours and finishes ranging from matt white through to pastel pink. The white ones are probably your best bet as in my opinion they are slightly more stylish, echoing shades of the Macbook Air. The EEE PC comes with a built in microphone on all models and webcam on most models and runs on a Linux based operating system although it can be configured to run on a Windows based system. Windows based versions are planned for release by the company shortly. The Linux distribution is extremely stable with a Windows like user interface although for those not quite used to Linux you...

Review of Asus Eee PC 701

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...

**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...

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...

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...

My HP IPAQ Pocket PC Hx2790 Review

Advantages: Battery life, Easy synchronisation, WIFI and application compatability
Disadvantages: Not too good speaker quality

...life, even though i have the device set to power off after five minutes of inactivity, it can last for six hours no problem running skype and other programs using WIFI to revcieve calls and such. The protective cover also ensures that you cannot touch the screen while it is in your pocket and protects it from sharp objects. Top device, i highly reccomend it for anybody wanting a reliable and very usefull device....
