Rating: Summary: Perfect except no accessories yet Review: When I was looking for a good PDA I searched for the one were I get the best bang for my buck. I settled with the hp ipaq 1910. It was a very good buy and really like it. The display is amazing and it can do almost anything I would want it to do. The only problem when I want to add on things to make this PDA better is there isn't anything compatible for it. I am a college student and the reason I got a PDA is so I could have something to do word processing on without spending so much. I thought I'd get a PDA and a keyboard and this problem would be fixed. I purchased this PDA and there were not any accessories to buy. Not even the keyboard I had planed to buy. The main reason for this is where you would connect a keyboard is reversed compared to other PDA's. I've done some research and there isn't anything out there yet to fix this problem. They said that accessories will have to be specially made for ipaq 1910 in order for it to work. Hopefully they are working on something right now and will be on the market soon. Other than this problem the PDA is perfect and will only get better in the future with more add on accessories.
Rating: Summary: Small Featherweight PDA Review: This is a great Pocket PC for a great price. Although it has a fairly low processor of an Intel 200 X-Scale, it is good enough to run programs and simple games. The h1910 is expandable with memory cards to use it as an MP3-Play and a picture viewer, and voice recorder. It is featherlight and has a four-way directional keypad, a select button in the centre of it, and four shortcut buttons including (left to right) Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Today. It can be instantly active-synced with a PC, but I have to admit, you should get a screen protector, or at least a case. The screen is very vulnerable to dirt and scratches. Here's a tip: clean the screen with a eyeglass lense cleaner or exhale on it, and whatever you do, don't touch the screen! It comes with MS Reader and about 12 books, and Windows Media Player. I kind of wished that it came with everything pictured on the box (car keys, steaming coffee mug, iPAQ of course), but the iPAQ on itself was good enough.
Rating: Summary: Another Palm User turns to the fantastic HP 1910 Review: This is a great PDA! I bought this last week, have loaded up all the data that I need to herd on a daily basis, and put on a number of apps that easily fall into the "Palm User" look and feel zone.I've been fighting the urge to move towards Pocket PC for a few years, feeling like I've been able to escape the tractor beam of Microsoft and what I've considered their mediocre (or middle of the road, or average, take your pick of the descriptor) efforts in the software area. But the form factor, great screen, good to great Pocket PC software, and excellent price of the 1910 finally turned the tide for me. The 1910 feels very solid, great build quality, is more than speedy enough, and best of all, works as a solid replacement for my Sony Clie. I'm very impressed with the 1910, I think HP did a fine job. More important at the end of the day is the software, and that is what swayed me. The overall quality of sofware you can buy or download for the PocketPC is on the rise, and I like the way that the Pocket PC integrates with my Desktop PC. Active Sync seems to work pretty well, and I'm able to use Lotus EasySync to sync Notes with the 1910. Toshiba, Dell, and Viewsonic were all in the running, but the HP won on fantastic screen, form factor, and build quality. I'm very happy with the purchase

Rating: Summary: my first Pocket PC Review: I was looking for something really compact. My first thoughts were on the new model of the sony clei ... same as the IPAQ itself. Being completely clueless, I decided to do some research on toshiba, sony and IPAQ. My aim was to get a cheaper handheld with less expansivity capabilities (as I am not a fan of high speed processors and GPS.....) I believe the notebook will do the job of wireless networking and I also have a mobile GPS : which I hardly use. After one week of intense research, I felt that I could write a thesis for the handhelds. My conclusion had came down to price, more battery power as well as being able to replace batteries and the screen brightness capabilities and last but not the least the design itself. HP IPAQ 1910 - the closest match found when compared with toshiba, and sony ... Once, I had decided to buy the IPAQ 1900, there was another search for its cases. I found out that the hp has a hidden website where you can custom design the cases... Well, www.Amazon.com was giving a mail in rebate for the IPAQ and I was impatient of getting the new IPAQ asap, so I decided to visit BestBUY and to my luck....so I asked them if they had any open items available for the new HP IPAQ, coz everybody knows..they are always half the original price. To my suprise they did, and I bought the device ... and the 2 yr protection plan from the bestbuy ... Hence, I gota great deal out of it, coz I knew...if the devive didnt function well...bestbuy will replace it for me. So far I have had no problems with the IPAQ 1910. If you read this far, bare in mind of purchasing a SD memroy card as well.
Rating: Summary: Awesome Display, Near Perfect Size Review: This is a great new Pocket PC. Almost a 5 star product, the only thing that bugs me is that HP left out some of the base software options on Pocket PC 2002 and left out a base backup software. Great display and great portability, comfortably pocket size and the Intel (slower version) of the 250 processor is extremely smooth, even at it's reduced 200 mhz speed.
Rating: Summary: The sexy little PDA that was almost a 10 Review: My main complaint about this PDA and why I won't buy one is the fact that this little PDA offers absolutely no expendability. Not even a Compact Flash expansion pack. Nope all you get is USB sync and an SD slot. If they would have designed just a little bit of expendability this would have been a real winner. Right now I'm waiting to see what the AXIM does to the Pocket PC world.
Rating: Summary: Fantastic PDA, easy to carry! Review: I have used windows CE / Pocket PC devices in the past. But I switchd to a Palm Vx a couple of years ago, because the Windows CE devices were just too big. This one got me back to using windows CE. It fits in my pocket has a wonderful display and is just fun to use. I need to sell my Palm Vx :-) Wish the SD slot supported SDIO which would allow for wireless support in the future. The SD slot is only good for memory cards.
Rating: Summary: Great Product! Review: The ipaq is the greatest tool I've purchased for business, pleasure, travel and just being able to keep everything straight. If you use a planner it's time to step up to a pocket pc, and you can't go wrong with this one. So many great options, so easy to use and a really good value. My only real concern is losing it in my pocket behind a stick of gum! I would highly recommend this item to anyone considering a pocket pc.
Rating: Summary: Form factor is what made this special Review: The form factor and weight is really comparable to a Palm V. I couldn't believe how light it is! My complaint with what is, or is not, included: no cradle, no case (not even a minimal one like other iPaqs), and the software is barebone (the nice utilities that come with other iPaqs are no where to be found). But I think considering the price HP has to cut corners somewhere. In the final analysis though, this gadget is really well designed. And did I mention that the form factor is superior?
