4 out of 5 stars Great PDA for the price   December 8, 2007
F. Lossio (Alma, MI)
17 out of 17 found this review helpful

Excellent PDA (or Pocket PC) only one of the few new models that you will see in the market. I use to be a Palm fan but turned to the dark side because there are no new palm PDA models, the Palm TX is 3 year old technology and still sells for the same price. I had this one for over 1 month and is perfect. Connects to the wi-fi internet in cafes fast and easy. I am in the medical field and I store manuals and drug information.
I also bought a 2GB SD expansion card where I store all my family pictures and most of the software downloaded. It even comes with a nice leather slipcase. Never need any reset, so far no regrets!
The only problem was that my desktop has Windows vista and I bought office 07, but it doesnt come with office outlook 07 that you need for the instalation and is about S/90 in amazon. No problems synchronizing with vista. Good luck.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent value for the price   November 20, 2007

Wife got me the iPaq for my birthday. The box does say 110 - but the HP asset view utility shows the Model ID as "HP iPaq 111 Classic Handheld". Since I have never owned a Pocket PC before it took me a while to find all the software I would need to use (Acrobat Reader for Pocket PC, Google Maps, etc....).
Pros (in my short experience):
1. BT and Wireless work great - I prefer transferring files this way - though dont hope to set up WPA PEAP/MSCHAPv2 without a struggle.
2. Office Mobile is a great bonus. Word is quick and responsive - using the registry I use this as a default for most text files.
3. All the free WM5 and WM2003 utilities I have tried so far work just fine on WM 6.
4. I am not a heavy user, but task switching seemed fairly quick and the interface responsive.
5. Handwriting recognition - just awesome (I scrawl)

Cons:
1. Battery life does not seem as great as I would have liked (especially for reading books).
2. Pocket IE (the default browser) is painful.
3. Sometimes switching between the keyboard and the transcriber is a little painful

For those of you who just need a portable device to feel connected this is a pretty good toy!



4 out of 5 stars Just received Ipaq - First Impressions   December 1, 2007
Gary (Albany, New York)

Just received and have been trying out. Have not installed software to sync yet, in event I return. In response to a few of the reviews: When the backlight goes off and you need to tap screen, just tap the top. It will not open any programs or disturb your running program. Also, you can change the backlight timer in "Settings." Go to setting and to backlight. You can keep light on up to 5 minutes without use.

As far as the model number, Ipaq 110 and 111 are the same. I ordered mine from HP as 111, and they sent the 110. No difference. Just one of those HP quirks with model numbers. Nothing to worry about.

Battery: My battery will not charge above 92%. Don't know if that is the nature of the beast, or if it is my own device. Would be interested in other customer observations. Battery life seems OK- need to work with it some more.
Web browsing is great. Good connections to distant routers - loading works well. Type is of course very small. Sometimes I copy and paste article on web to the WORD program - zoom and read. Bit of a hassle, but worth it for enjoyable reading.
I have heard about syncing problems with Vista. I am still using XP. In fact, I may stick with XP on future purchases of computers. Yes, you can still do that if you go to Magic Micro or other barebones computer builders - even on new laptops.
I agree with other reviewer that programs take a while to load. I am surprised that even word and excel takes so much time to load up.
Most of my purchases are from Amazon. However, I noted that HP had $60 off of price with instant rebate. I went that route. However, HP now charges tax. So that took apporoximately $20 off of my savings.
Will I keep this product? Not sure. Is the Palm TX still a good purchase (considering bluetooth is only 1.1) - but I hear the wifi works great and yes, of course, we are talking apples and oranges (Palm v Micro Mobile).
Oh yes: As far as improvements to WORD - Word does retain formatting better in Mobile 6.0 than in earlier versions, but not perfect. It will read tables now and preserve them to an extent, but not without changes to the formatting. Still had to make adjustments after I moved the SD card to my computer (have not done a sync yet - maybe that had something to do with it, but I doubt it) And formatting will always hurt a bit because even with the new Mobile 6.0, Microsoft still HAS NOT ADDED FONTS to word. Still has only Tacoma and Courier. What is the story here? Have they not taken any lessons from Data Viz-DOCS to GO?
This is my first reviw in Amazon. I have relied on Amazon reviews for some years - figure I should return the favor. I will update my review as I utilize the Ipaq. But I am still considering moving back to Palm for the TX. Not sure. Palm vs Moble? Still the big question.



3 out of 5 stars Medicore ipaq   November 20, 2007

I use to own the 2495 until it was stolen. I was excited about the new iPAQ 111/110 but it hasnt really lived up to my expectations. Even though it claims to have more RAM, memory, and a faster processor, it is not faster than my 2495. WM6 looks slightly better, but besides that, its nothing to talk about. Also, a lot of programs dont work with WM6 yet. They put the speaker on the back of the PDA which is really annoying if you set it down. When I listen to music on WMP10, it laggs every couple of minutes. lastly, I have windows vista and snycing with my last pocket pc and this one are a huge pain compared to XP. I have really only mentioned the bad things so if you are looking to get a pocket pc I would recommend this one. It is cheaper than the 2495 and has all the same features. HP probably makes the best PDA's.


4 out of 5 stars Very good choice if you dont want to spend more then 300 on a pda   November 8, 2007

This Pda is very good overall. Nice battery life so far, very light and small. the back has a black rubber feel to it. Only thing i dont like about it is when the backlight goes off and you tap the screen to make it come back on the screen still works, so i keep opening stuff by mistake when tapping the screen to turn the backlight on.


We'll be adding even more exciting features to assist you in the coming year.
