HP iPAQ hx4700 Pocket PC the most bang for the buck

byopinionated3 Feb 15, 2005

Pros the best screen quality, SD and CF card slot, Windows Mobile 2003 OS
Cons Flip cover is too small and battery life is too short
Recommended it? Yes

When I first started my current job I given a Palm Zire 21 to use. I used it to take notes and keep track of important instructions. Unfortunately the Zire 21 was very limited and I needed a PDA with more memory and a expansion slot. I put in a request to my boss to get a newer PDA and after a bit... Read full review »

Pros Awesome resolution. Bright Screen. Excel/Word. CF/SD card capability.
Cons HP non-support. Flimsy non-standardized charger connection. Battery life.
Recommended it? No

This was bought for me to use at work, but it would never charge properly, was always flukey, but HP wouldn't authorize a return until it completely failed after only a few months. Then, HP wouldn't honor the warranty as they claimed it had been subjected to abuse, even though I'd contacted very... Read full review »

Pros --Reads epubs (library books)  <br>--No vendor lock-in<br>--Portable,...
Cons --Home screen settings annoy me<br>--Silver version is too silvery
Recommended it? Yes

This reader has seriously changed my life. I have read so many books since getting it. I bought my wife the pink one and she loved it so much it got me all excited and I had to get a silver one for myself. We are both nuts for them. Amazing purchase.

Not Good

Pros Good screen resolution; basic format is epub, with PDF and Word, capability.

Recommended it? No

This thing is an ergonomic disaster.  It will do the things a reader should, and does them well.  However, a very big however, it is very difficult to hold without inadvertently touching the screen at some point.  When that happens, it goes bonkers.  If one sits on one's deck at...
