- An iPod Touch has better email and internet functionality (not perfect yet, though almost so) - This Pocket PC will give you better word and powerpoint use - They both have the same kinds of applications, but this Pocket PC runs like 1987 and the iPod Touch runs like 2005. If you don't want to pay a monthly fee, buy a used iPhone. If you're going to get a Pocket PC, this is the best one for the buck. But just get an iPhone. If you don't want to pay that much, buy an iPod.
It was an expensive experiment in having a cell phone and PDA that I won't repeat any time soon. My advice is when you start having trouble with realigning the screen (which I did many times before the final crash of the screen) you call HP to see what can be done. The funtionaility on the screen on my iPaq deteriorated over the last month until it would not work at all. A "clean reset" as directed by the customer service representative confirmed what I already knew.the unit is no longer working properly. I've abandoned by iPAQ for another option.
The battery lasts a long time and it's very user friendly. This is a really great product I use every day. Would recommend.
I have loaded many programs that work pretty good including a ROM for a TI-89 calculator and it works just great (the Ti89 is like $300)I found that anytime I'm having a frozen screen a soft reboot is more than enough. I have Owned twice this model (I broke the screen on the first one), but I guess I never had that problems, maybe sometimes the battery It's not long lasting as one would like but it gives at least 3 hrs of wireless internet. WM5 doesn't close the programs and that's why you sometimes sun out of memory.
This should have been disclosed. Now it works much better but still is reluctant to start from being in sleep mode overnight at times. I went to the HP site and re-loaded the ROM for WM5 but _not_ the update. I felt duped however when I received it with known problems. I received the product with a sticker on the box showing that it had been returned because the screen freezes. The screen did in fact freeze to the point where it was impossible to use. I will admit that the price I paid was more than $100.00 less than any other posting for the same item I have seen.
