Summary: Sadly, mine has a Memory Stacking Error, Causing it to Crash
Review: I loved this device when I first got it.
Alas, it has developed (1 month past warranty, of course)
a memory stack and usage error, such that the entire
program memory slowly gets filled, even when all programs
are shut down. Eventually, it runs out of memory, and the
machine crashes, requiring the machine to be reset. It is
entirely unrelated to any add-ins running (I uninstalled
them all). Honestly, I can't tell if this is an iPAQ error
or a Microsoft operating system error (it is vaguely reminiscent
of an Excel error a few years back), but it makes no difference
to me, as the result is the same. I am off to buy a Sharp Zaurux (w/ Linux and a keyboard), to ensure this never happens again.

Summary: Compaq 3135
Review: Here are the features that did not work right out of the box:
1. Power. It will not accept a charge. I left it plugged in, turned off, for 72 hours and the little amber light blinked all the while. When I unplugged it and tried to turn it on, the device was dead. I've tried many variations on that routine, all with the same result. It will work only while plugged into a wall socket.I've searched the documenation, thinking maybe there's another part needed. I found no answers. It's certainly not portable in this condition.
2. Connectivity. The USB hookup is extremely unreliable. I can get it to hold for only a few seconds at a time. It is impossible to synchronize it with either the desk top computer or with an on-line source such as Audible.com.
3. Memory. I tried 16MB, 64MB, 128MB. The device would recognize none of them.
4. Documentation. The help files on the CD are useless. They address none of the issues the device's defects have raised.
That's about it. It's very shiny.

Summary: this is a good product
Review: first of all I encourage anyone to buy this product ive had it for a month now and its been working great. the only draw back is that the screen cant be seen at certain angles clearly.

Summary: Power for the buck
Review: I started out using both the Palm V and the Palm IIIxe. Both didn't provide me with enough memory to allow me to utilize them as a "one stop organizer" for my information. I bought the iPAQ 3150 as a "steal" of a deal. I enhanced it's capability for storage by buying a 256mb CF card for it. I sync it with my Outlook email/contacts/notes etc. But the fun of having it comes when I use Pocket Streets for Maps on trips, MS Reader for books I can read when I commute back and forth on the train daily, AND I've downloaded over 100 songs using MediaPlayer and I my iPAQ is with me daily at the gym for my "musical" motivation. It's better than a CD player because there is NO concern for music "skipping". I never had concerns about color versus monochrome because I started out with the Palm monochrome. The benefit of having the monochrome version for me is extended battery life anyway. Oh yeah...I just started using eWallet with encrypted secure information of all my critical accounts and information such as each vehicles Plates/VIN information, my Credit accounts, Bank accounts, ALL password protected. It's an Amazing device. The coolest thing I used it for was with my wife's Cassette deck in her car. I connected the tape adapter to the headset plug of the iPAQ and it allowed me the ability to play my downloaded CD songs from MediaPlayer onto her car stereo while we were on an lengthy road trip. HOW COOL IS THAT!!!

Summary: IPAQ 3635 - Much more than an organizer
Review: I've owned the 3635 for a few months now, and I have to say that it's been much, much more than just an organizer for me. It's been a portable gaming system, a MP3 player, a movie player, an electronic notebook, and more. The organizer that comes with the iPaq is great, though I am using a 3rd party software organizer which I purchased and downloaded online.If you couple the iPaq with a large CF card, you can put movies on them and watch your favorite Simpsons episode or even a DivX movie if you re-encode it to a smaller size. I only wish that it was thinner, but the next generation of iPaqs should fix that. Overall an excellent purchase!

Summary: IPAQ 3635--Total Data Mobility
Review: The Compaq Ipaq H3635 is not only an organizer, but it enables you to connect to the internet (if you have internet service and a modem card). When I first bought this appliance I had no idea of all of the potential uses. When opening the package, I was delighted to see a light, sleek, titanium colored new toy! It only took moments and I was able to check out all of the programs. I particularly liked the ability to get connected to the internet--but I also liked MS Money (a great financial planning software), MS Pocket Word, and MS Pocket Excel. And don't get me started on how exciting it was to have a brilliant color display! An all around great investment that carries me through business and pleasure!

Summary: Love It!
Review: I use it all the time. I can sync the calendar with my calendar at work and it chirps to remind me of all my appointments. I also downloaded a Pocket Genealogist program and keep my GED file on it for reference. I'm sure I'll find more uses for it as time goes by. I would rather have the color screen but, for my uses and the difference in price, it's great!

Summary: Best Buy in PDA's Available
Review: I have recently purchaced this great product. I have had no problems with it. What happened was that I purchased it as a Mp3 player and that is the main thing I use it for, but I have grown to love this little protable computer for it's many abundent other features. At first, I was concerned that having a black and white screen would bother me, but it works great! Also, to get a similar color version you would have to spend a good amount more and all those I could find had problems with battery life or something similar. I have done all the research and found that this is the best. To other buyers out there I would strongly suggest that you consider this product and by all means stay away from anything made with the palm platform!...

Summary: Useful... in terms of reading e-books on the subway/bus...
Review: The most use I get out of it is reading e-books. However, my biggest qualm is the screen quality. In direct sunlight/brightlight, the screen is easily readable. With the backlight on in a dimly lit area, text on screen is also fairly nice. However, anything in between, and the screen becomes almost impossible to read. The convenience of lugging this PDA around and reading my stuff is a big plus. Listening to MP3's is a plus also, and the windows audio format is indistinguishable in quality. However, what annoys me is plastic thing u have to slide over ur pocketpc to use ur CF cards. Makes it twice as bulky. Once I start using it + the CF card, I cannot fit it into its leather case. Kind of annoying since if u decide to walk around w/ ur pocketpc/now MP3 player in ur pocket, the buttons can be accidently pressed. I am satisfied with this product. The fact I can synchronize w/ money 2001 is nice also.
