| beobjective's Full Review: Hewlett Packard iPAQ H1945 Pocket PC |
I got this as a wedding present and I totally wasn't expecting it. I'm into computers which I build up for myself and for family and I work for a software company, but when it comes to mobile devices I'm still in the stone ages. I don't have a cell phone (anymore at least), don't have a laptop and until recently I didn't have a pda. I keep up with techie products that are on the horizon and for the most part hold off buying many gadgets because there's features coming out in the future that I often feel are worth holding off for, or I wait and watch the prices come down and what is currently out there. However, I think it was about time for me to have one of these now that I've actually tried this nice gift out and used it.
These pda's have come a long way. At least mine seems quick, stable, fun and useful. I'm impressed something so tiny can store has so many features and expansion possibilities. The thought crossed my mind to take it with the gift receipt back to upgrade to a fancier model with wi-fi or possibly a Palm instead of PocketPC but I wasn't impressed enough with the other pocket pcs or palms that I saw. I prefer something I can slip into my pocket and the higher end models seemed to add some bulk. Sandisk is coming out with a 256mb expansion card with wi-fi.
This review won't be my best. Normally I spend way more time researching and comparing products like these before I buy. I haven't done that here since this was an unexpected gift. I don't know what else to say other than I'm happy with it.
