Hewlett Packard iPAQ HX4700 Pocket PC

Pros: the best screen quality, SD and CF card slot, Windows Mobile 2003 OS
Cons: Flip cover is too small and battery life is too short

When I first started my current job I given a Palm Zire 21 to use. I used it to take notes and keep track of important instructions. Unfortunately the Zire 21 was very limited and I needed a PDA with more memory and a expansion slot. I put in a request ...

Pros: Integrated WIFI, VGA 5"x3" display, CF/CFII + SD/MMC capabilities.
Cons: $$$ expensive! Software was crashing frequently at first.

Finally decided to purchase a handheld. Big decision; PALM or POCKETPC? I went with pocketPC for the windows factor (which usually is a reason NOT to go with a product, but I was trying to anticipate future market availability of software). Features I ...

Pros: Awesome resolution. Bright Screen. Excel/Word. CF/SD card capability.
Cons: HP non-support. Flimsy non-standardized charger connection. Battery life.

This was bought for me to use at work, but it would never charge properly, was always flukey, but HP wouldn't authorize a return until it completely failed after only a few months. Then, HP wouldn't honor the warranty as they claimed it had been ...

Pros: Very fast, incredible screen quality, videos will blow you away, good battery life
Cons: None

This is my 6th PDA and by far the best I ever owned. The screen quality is unbelievable, double the resolution (in dots per inch) of a good high resolution desktop computer monitor, I wish my desktop could look this good! The hx4700 is very fast with ...

Pros: High geek wow factor.
Cons: Useless for any practical purpose

This pocket PC is a miniature marvel, packing 802.11B networking, a high resolution display (640 x 480, equivalent to VGA), sound recording and Windows for Mobile Computing into a very small form factor. The purely technical specification are readily ...

Pros: Solid in hand, enough features for the everyday,fast processor, rugged enough.
Cons: Software, membrain buttons, price, should be 802.11g, bluetooth seems short. Battery life could be better.

First I use to carry a NEWTON, so my view is a little skewed. Screen is the first good feature and at even the smallest allowed font it is clean. The included cover is a nice items although it started to get a little loose and comes off sometimes. ...

Pros: huge crisp screen,very clean look dont see any button .2 card slots. powerfull processor.
Cons: dont have camera(not big issue). not have nevo media companion

this is a monster PPC it got everything 2 slots for memory card very convenience you can use any CF adapter and still have a free slot, also you can use one for apps and one for multimedia and dont have to take out apps card for use an other.super fast ...

Pros: great screen, acceptable battery life with large battery
Cons: if left uncharged, data and programs will be lost!!

Great screen, battery life acceptable (good) BUT - if not charged at least every 4 days, all programs and data will be lost (bad & ugly). Does not appear to contain a back up lithium (or similar) battery to maintain programs and data. I left it at home on a week long trip and everything was lost. Very poor design it this respect, if you get one, keep it charged, and back up every day .
