New iPAQ Pocket PC

New iPAQ Pocket PC 07/27/2004 02:43 AM

I'll be honest I have a iPAQ one that I purchased last year. It was a big waste of money. My laptop is with me about 90% of the time. I play games on it on airplanes and try and figure out how to re-coup my money. Someone needs to come up with a book on how to be productive with a Pocket PC. I am sure their is one out there but I'd hate to waste more money. This is one of the reasons I am hesitant to buy a tablet. I'm afraid it would be a waste of money.

See, I told you guys I'd link to more HP stuff if it was worthwhile; namely, PDA Buyer's Guide takes out the low-end of the new iPAQs, the rz1715 (codename: Lil' Rizzizzeal), and while they find it to exude the trademark fit-and-finish of the HP iPAQ line, a lack of features (compared to the last generation, even, not just the newly-release iPAQs) makes the $275 suitable mostly for PDA tinkerers who just need a Pocket PC for its core functions (Personal Information Management, etc.)

HP iPaq rx3715 Reviewed 08/31/2004 09:43 AM

Trusted Reviews takes a gander at the HP iPaq rx7815, a middle-range Pocket PC that HP is positioning as a "mobile media" device, and they seem to come away somewhat impressed, although to be honest it's sort of a hard review to read (in the 'figure out how they feel' sense not the 'bad English' sense). As for features, the rx3715 is strong enough, with integrated Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (b) and even a decent camera (which is to say, better than VGA), but I think maybe the mezzo-mezzo tone of the review - and here is where I go out a limb, perhaps - is indicative not of HP's failings with this particular iPaq, but just a general malaise that is clouding our feelings about PDAs. We know what they do, they do it fairly well, but nobody is figuring out how to really make them any more useful.

To HP's credit, it does look like they are really trying to develop some new software that does new, interesting things. It looks like they're sort of succeeding.

Whoa, this is a crazy one. There apparently had been rumors floating about of a new HP iPaq Smartphone, called the RW6100, and pictures have surfaced on a Korean website of what looks to be that very thing. What's interesting to me, though, is that it appears to be a slider, although with just a keypad underneath instead of a keyboard. It has a marked resemblance, in fact, to the Samsung SGH-D410 we reviewed last week, although it looks a lot bigger. Could be a very nice compromise between capability and size if it all pans out.

I've had the HP iPaq h6315 - their newest, actually-released Smartphone - in here for the last few days, and while I'll probably give it a proper review here soon, it's cemented my notion that I'm not that impressed with Windows Smartphones in the larger slate form factor anymore. If you don't mind things being way too huge for pockets, though, it's got a lot to offer.
