Compaq iPAQ PA-1 (64 MB) MP3 Player

Pros: great sound, good headphones, compact and lightweight
Cons: 10-hour battery life

I recieved this for Christmas and have been hooked since. Overall this is a wonderful piece of electronic equipment, albight a few minor problems. However, considering the infacy of this technology I would have to say this is one of the better buys on...

Pros: its great
Cons: its small and easy to misplace

For Christmas I wanted an mp3 player but not just any player I wanted the best one. A newspaper article told me that this was the best value, had the longest battery life, and the overall best. The man at radioshack and circuit city also said that...

Pros: Sleek, small, compact, fast, cheap
Cons: memory cards cost alot

This Mp3 Player, which was produced by Compaq was rated highly by Consumer Reports, so that is why I purchased it. This Compaq iPAQ Personal Audio Player is sleek, cheap and works effiecntly. You can store many works of music on it. You can buy unlimited...

Pros: Size, ease of installation, quality
Cons: Memory limited to 64MB

Sorry for the poor play on words...

First, Speakman in his review is wrong. The PA-1 has, and does, support W2K. I have it on my system as we speak. Installation was simple and flawless.

The PA-1 is my 3rd MP3 player, and by far...

Pros: Future proof, size, features, belt clip...
Cons: Read here for solutions!!!

Okay, first things first! The flimsy memory card door was NOT the case on mine. Quite possibly the others accidentally damaged it when trying to extract it from the packaging. Packaging was fine, and everything you'd expect in something high-quality. The...

Pros: Quality, ease of use
Cons: Memory card door

.... and boy was I pleased this purchase.

All the stories about MP3 player proprietary formats and painful upload procedures, primarily around SONY, had me scared. It boggles my mind that electronic stores do not have the software that...

Pros: small ,great sound, easy to use
Cons: no internal memory

This is an excellent MP3 Player. It is amazing that such powerful, incredible sound can come out of this tiny gadget. The player is well made (although the slot for the memory is a bit flimsy) and a delight to carry. It is handsomely designed and looks...

Pros: GREAT quality sound in a little package.
Cons: None I've had problems with, except the packaging

I was looking in the market of portable digital audio player, or an MP3 player, and came across this. Not only is it nice to look at, small and lightweight, but it has AMAZING sound, especially with the provided earphones. I took it home and was eager to...

Pros: Large memory- 2 32MB cards-additional memory available-very small
Cons: They should lower the price to $225.

I received the ipaq mp3 player for Christmas. It was one of the best gifts I have ever gotten. I am able to store over 20 songs on this little mp3 player. The ipaq comes with two 32MB cards that store an hour of high-quality music each. To put...

Pros: Small and extremely lightweight Upgradable (hopefully) Great Sound
Cons: Packaging Headphones (Minor) Memory door (Minor)

I recently was in Hong Kong, which electronics are released prior to the US and was amazed at the various mp3 players. So much that I had to have one. So upon returning home, I began my shopping only to discover some of the models they offer aren't...

Pros: size, sound quality, simplicity
Cons: software

Wanted this product to get solid sound quality in a miniscule package.

Speaking of package, I managed to get it out of its packaging in less than ten minutes without any collateral damage -- I feel fortunate for that (a strong pair of...

Pros: WMA support, Sound, price, 64MB, size.
Cons: No room to expand memory. An FM tuner would be nice.

I bought this player because of its 64mb, $200 price, and support for WMA media(instead of MP3, this new format takes up half the space as an equivalent quality MP3). The NomadII was my 2nd choice- but the IPaq is smaller and cheaper.

I was...

Pros: Incredibly small, lit LCD shows track names, Good sound quality, Easy to use.
Cons: Software takes some getting used to, a bit pricey for the amount of memory.

I bought a couple of these for relatives around Christmas of '00 and liked it so much, I bought one for myself. At the time, the price was reasonable for the amount of memory and the compactness of the player is great.

First, the pros: ...

Pros: Size, Cost, Ease of Use
Cons: Software, Packaging, Not sure about battery life yet

I just received my new IPAQ PA-2 today and so far I love it. While it did take me 1/2 hour to open the package and figure out how to use the software, once I got it going it was great. I used it on my walk home today and loved it. I didn't even notice...

Pros: Extremely small, Great capacity, Great Sound.
Cons: USB means no NT4, Fair battery life.

Capacity: I wanted an MP3 player with minimum 64MB, and potential to expand to 128MB; the PA-1 has it! The minor problem is to get to 128MB, you have to toss your original two 32MB MMC's for two 64MB MMC's; that said, a 64MB MMC has dropped to $115....
