Without a doubt, the HP Jornada 548 provides the most versatile bang for the buck of any PDA I've seen!

I have been searching for three years (and monitoring for many more), waiting for a PDA that had all of my minimal...

Pros: 32 MB of space, color display, free keyboard offer, MP3s, games, Mpeg (movies), very popular
Cons: $450 (worth it)

This is a great PDA! It offers a wise variety of features. The first is the amazing 32 MB of space. That's 4 times as much as the largest Palm's memory! It gets better. The 548 offers a brilliant color display. Also...the price is not $600. It's...

Pros: A handy little mini-computer in my pocket.
Cons: Little pricey (but worth it) Could use some more fun accessories

The Hp Jornada is not for everyone. It is for those that must have it all, and if you don't need it all, the Jornada is not for you. I always thought that PDA's were no more than expensive little tip calculators like on that one Seinfeld episode. But I...

Pros: Color screen, compact flash slot, works great with Targus Stoaway keyboard
Cons: Big and Heavy. Can't upgrade to Pocket PC 2002

I bought my 548 about 2 years ago when it was not the in thing to spend more than $500 for a Pocket PC. Well, I did...and for the most part, I've been really pleased with it. I sync it with my outlook at work and find myself pretty lost if I don't have...

Pros: Nice screen resolution, large amount of memory
Cons: Hard to buy software for

The HP Jornada 548 is a very nice addition to the immense variety of PDA's on the market today. Though it may be a little expensive compared to the average handhelds it comes with a lot of amenities. The 16-bit screen gives lively and vivid images, and...

Pros: Improved OS, simple navigation, useful software, expandable
Cons: price tag, some crashes, syncing with Money 2000 does not work

I'll be honest - I don't like Microsoft. I've hated all previous CE devices, and was very skeptical of the "new and improved" Pocket PC OS. However, after taking the Jornada for a test drive, I had a change of heart. Finally, a PDA that can...

Pros: Handsome, compact design, Superb color screen, Ships with 32 MB RAM, Large application suite, Easy setup and intuitive interface...

Pros: Powerful, Color, Rugged, Reliability
Cons: Syncing with Groupwise

This is it buy it! If you are reading this you are doing your homework and comparing every aspect of PDA's. I wanted: Color, speed, e-mail, organizer(s), memory, spreadsheets, WP, voice recording, and reliability. I compared this machine to the Palm Vx...

Pros: Compact power, easy to use, nice price
Cons: screen too hard to see outside

I was an avid Palm user for the past couple of years, but my yearnings for something more powerful led me to the PocketPC realm.

I had been considering the iPaq, but given its price, the way that compaq has not had a stellar performance...

Pros: Omnisky Wireless Modem, Wireless Surfing!
Cons: A little slow but nothing that stops you working on the road!

Well I finally decided to purchase a Pocket PC and hang up my Palm Vx. It was a tough decision because the Palm is a great tool with many supported programs (freeware etc) out on the market. Want to know why?

COLOR! So nice to have when...

Pros: Very durable case and the features to impress your friends.
Cons: Nothing really!

Of course this is not the most powerful PDA out there but the price is unbeatable for the value. Now some people may be wondering what the difference between the 547 and 548 is. The ONLY difference is the 548 includes a cradle and the 547 does not....

Pros: Solid product, good balance of functionality/SW/performance
Cons: Price

;-) Please see "4 year" updates at end, thank you!!! I have owned the HP Jornada for 2 years, following is a “beat the heck out of it” abuse road report for this unit: I am a software project manager and spend my life jumping in & out of ...

Pros: Compact, Screen Cover, Color, plenty of Mem.
Cons: None as of yet

The HP Jornada 548 is basically like a mini desktop with the amount of speed and memory it gives you. It runs off of a Windows operating system which allows you to use word, excel and other great Microsoft programs.

First you get 32mb of...

Pros: High resolution, vibrant colors, good software.
Cons: The product is slightly costly.

Review: HP Jornada 548

I was so impressed after purchasing my Palm m100, that I decided to spring for a higher end model of a PDA. This was part of my initial dip into the PDA world, and I was just getting used to carrying my m100...

Pros: Windows Ce, graphics, Excel, Word
Cons: Price

I purchased an HP Jornada 548 a few months ago. This purchase stemmed from my need to have a PDA. I first purchased the Palm IIIxe but wanted to jazz up my daily work a bit with color so I went back to the store to purchase a Palm IIIce. I had been...
