Pros: Smaller than any laptop, standard expansion ports
Cons: Voice recording sucks, CF slot should be CF-II, not CF-I.

Pros: Great keyboard, wide and wonderful color screen
Cons: Oddly configured Compact Flash Card slot
Summary: Even though the Hewlett Packard Jornada 680 has been surpassed by later H/PC Professional models - the beefier 690 and the more robust 720 - it's better than most handhelds in the emerging market. With a 75-percent laptop size keyboard and excellent ... read more

Pros: Great software, rugged
Cons: weak speaker
Summary: I use the heck out of this thing. I admit that I may be the biggest computer geek that ever lived, because the 680 goes where ever I go.
The 680 and the 690 are identical except for the fact that the 690 has 32 megs instead of 16 megs. I ... read more

Pros: Great for its size
Cons: For my purposes, none that I'm aware of
Summary: I've been using this little machine for the past year for work purposes only. It is extremely dependable and durable. I'm fortunate to have a zipper case to store and carry it around. I have dropped it quite a few times but I think being in its case ... read more

Pros: Looks pretty
Cons: cramped keyboard, bogus design
Summary: My quest for a portable began with the Jornada 680/690 leading the pack of potential candidates. I like the clamshell form factor because it provides a keyboard (being limited to stylus-only input really hampers your ability to enter text quickly). I ... read more

Pros: bright screen, full featured
Cons: cost
Summary: The Jornada 680 is the right compromise for me between size and versatility. It's small enough to be portable, you can expand it without carrying a bunch of extra little things and cables around, and you can type on it -- maybe not novels, but it has a ... read more

Cons: thing sticks out of the bottom when a PC card is inserted, no headphone plug, no USB
Summary: I got one of these a while ago. But it has so many really pretty obvious problems I decided to return it. But I am pretty picky.
Anyway.
