Compaq IPAQ
Overall a decent pocket pc but dont expect anything special..
Just like everything else from compaq, dont expect the highest quality item.
The Ipaq does get the job done though. Play nice mp3's and videos.. Syncs good with outlook so you can read your emails when not at the office but I give all the credit for software to microsoft for a few nice features but I do not give compaq much credit there hardware.. The only reason I chose the ipaq was because of the prce and because of compaqs great warranty service and as I found out the hard way it really is worth it to but the extended warranty with any compaq product. I would say if you need something cheep that gets the job done the ipaq is for you but if you have the money and relly want the top of the line features and quality go with the Dell Axim. I found out how important the wifi feature is to me so I can use skype for pocket pc where ever I have internet and make free calls. My favorite Pocket pc was the viewsonic V36 being the first pda i have owned does have some nice features.. camera.. and is way smaller and nicer then the ipaq or the axim but it does lack wifi so I just had to buy a wifi sd card which also works with the ipaq and the axim.. Here you can find the v36 http://search.reviews.ebay.com/ViewSonic-Pocket-PC-V36_W0QQfvcsZ7QQsoprZ30004395
The bottom line is dont expect top features and quality from the ipaq the only reason to buy one is if you are tight for money.
