 Probably the best ipaq yet |
| Review Date: December 11, 2007 |
| Reviewer: R. Maybury, SC, USA |
| I have owned several Pocket PCs, including a few earlier versions of the iPaq. Of the ones I have tried, this is probably the best, though its not a great leap forward. Having WiFi, Bluetooth, SDHC support (previous versions didn't support the new higher capacity cards that this one does - I have an 8Gb SD card in mine), a standard USB connection (previous iPaqs I owned use a proprietary USB connector) a relatively fast processor, the latest version of Windows Mobile all whilst retaining a relatively small form factor is a strong combination. Whilst many will opt for a Pocket PC phone (as my last Windows Mobile device was), having a seperate PDA from your phone has advantages for some e.g. if you are obliged to use a particular mobile phone for work (as I am) then you don't need the phone features on your PDA. With this device I can keep all of my personal contacts seperate from the business contacts on my phone and use the bluetooth feature to get my phone (a Blackberry Pearl) to dial any number I select on my iPaq. I have read other reviews on Amazon and can't say I have experienced any of the problems described. The screen on my iPaq works fine (no odd colours displayed) and windows media player has not yet crashed on my once (and I have listened to quite a lot of music and watched video on it). Overall, not a stunning leap forward but hard to find fault with it. |
| Excellent value for the price |

| Wife got me the iPaq for my birthday. The box does say 110 - but the HP asset view utility shows the Model ID as "HP iPaq 111 Classic Handheld". Since I have never owned a Pocket PC before it took me a while to find all the software I would need to use (Acrobat Reader for Pocket PC, Google Maps, etc....).
Pros (in my short experience): 1. BT and Wireless work great - I prefer transferring files this way - though dont hope to set up WPA PEAP/MSCHAPv2 without a struggle. 2. Office Mobile is a great bonus. Word is quick and responsive - using the registry I use this as a default for most text files. 3. All the free WM5 and WM2003 utilities I have tried so far work just fine on WM 6. 4. I am not a heavy user, but task switching seemed fairly quick and the interface responsive. 5. Handwriting recognition - just awesome (I scrawl) Cons: 1. Battery life does not seem as great as I would have liked (especially for reading books). 2. Pocket IE (the default browser) is painful. 3. Sometimes switching between the keyboard and the transcriber is a little painful For those of you who just need a portable device to feel connected this is a pretty good toy! |
| Great PocketPC!! |

| I just got this PDA for my son, so I'll let him do the review...
Hello, Chris here. Well, I can say one thing, Amazon's shipping is pretty fast when something is in stock. We got it Tuesday, after ordering it Sunday. If only all the accessories came at the same time, but it's ok. To the device itself.. I've seen review videos before, detailing the unboxing of a handheld device, thinking, why? Well, now I know why. It's a wonderful thing to see a pretty "cool" and handy box design. The box interior, as has been seen in various reviews online, has some detail about the iPaq itself, and the handheld is well-protected from damage. Everything is organized, and I didn't notice anything in the box that didn't seem atleast necessary. Setting up the iPaq was a breeze, in fact, all I did personally was just update my PC's Adobe Acrobat Reader, and install the last freeware version of TCPMP (a media player) to the iPaq. For those of you that may be interested, yes, TCPMP v7.2 does indeed work with Windows Mobile 6. Everything else on this iPaq is "stock", from the factory, atleast for now. Afew things I'd like to mention.. There is a kind of glitch common to alot of iPaqs, in that ActiveSync will turn the device on quite often, trying to connect to the PC, whether there's a cable or not. This can drain the battery "a little bit" (between 3% and 5% over 24 hours, I've heard). There is a fix for this if you search online, but it's very simple. I noticed the "glitch" within afew minutes of having the iPaq out of the box, but I was prepared, and the fix worked. Also, as I'm sure many will make note of, the power button is in an "awkward" place, very close to the voice recorder button. If you hold the iPaq just right, or keep it in a clamshell case of some kind, this probably won't be a problem, but I've already accidentally recorded myself, while trying to put the iPaq in it's included slip-case. If you remember where the record button is, however, it likely won't be a significant problem. I know this is quick for a proper review, posting it the following morning from receiving the device in the mail, but if anything changes, I'll update it, promise. Wi-fi connection is very strong. Lastnight just sitting in my bedroom messing with it, I was able to connect to a neighbor's WLAN hub, and access the internet. I haven't been able to check out the bluetooth capability, as I don't have anything that uses it at the moment. I don't foresee myself getting a bluetooth keyboard in the near future, or headphones. The jack-in headphones I have work GREAT with the 3.5mm jack on the iPaq. Audio quality is fine. If you use the speaker, the only way you'll get good output is in a mausoleum with no other noises. This device's speaker was probably an afterthought, but that's ok, as headphones are perfectly good. A speaker system that connects to the 3.5mm jack should work also. I have a small battery-powered one that is for mp3 players, and the iPaq connects with it nicely. I converted a music video for play with Windows Media on the iPaq. It played ok. Windows Media on a mobile device is adequate, but I personally look for other players whenever possible, especially for larger video and audio files. The iPaq's included PDF and TXT programs work fine. HP's Photosmart Mobile does a great job of viewing images, but that's expected. The device is alittle more compact than I thought, but I like it. Now that I have installed the familiar and more functional TCPMP software, I have no real complaints. Battery life is good. The device responds to my input. I can do tasks without waiting for the device to "catch up" with me. It connects via a standard mini-USB connector, however, there are some non-HP connectors that WILL NOT work with the iPaq. Please be aware of that. Some "professional" reviewers on various websites have made a point of mentioning that the iPaq won't connect with their non-HP cable, and I think personally that's rather juvenile. Reasonably, you can't expect a company to be responsible if another company's plug won't fit in their socket, right? Just use common sense, do alittle research online, and there's nothing at all I can complain about with this iPaq. I love it. Even though I've had it less than 24 hours. LOL! **Update** Sunday, 04/27/2008 ---------- While I mentioned that there was a problem with the power and record buttons being very close together, I'd like to say this afternoon I fiddled with the buttons settings, and sure enough, there is a way to shut the record button off. So, there are as of now no complaints whatsoever that I have with this PDA. I've been using this iPaq for afew months now, and it's still just as good today as the day I unboxed it. I loaded up my first feature-length movie onto SD memory the other night, and it played in WMP *FLAWLESSLY*, no visible jerking or hanging. I would also like to note, that I have not had to perform a single reset on this device yet, soft or hard, and I use it daily. I keep very little on the ROM, but I just thought I'd mention that positive from my experience. Not bad for a handheld, as I've heard many stories about people having to reset their device every once in awhile. So, in short, I still love this PDA, and fully recommend it! |

| I have been using this for a few weeeks and am entirely satisfied.
Being a 3rd party/mod buff I like the fact that is has the power of my old hx4700(May it rest in peace). It has douple the rom for more apps WM6 accually uses ram as ram and rom as rom, somthing WM2003 SE did not do. The screen is smaller and less crackable (get the hint?) and fits nicer in my pocket, however VGA would have been nice. I would highly recommend over the competition, even the up and coming ipaq 211, for it is a quality build And in response to the box saying Ipaq 110: it is the same thing, It is the series that matters, all products in the series are almost exactly the same. |
| Simply great PDA |

| This is about my 10th PDA; my last one is the iPAQ 4700. The 4700 uses Mobile 5.0, which is another one of Microsoft's big mistakes, and was soon replace with Mobile 6.0. Version 6.0 corrects all the issues more or less with 5.0. If you are use to Windows CE software you will have little problems learning 6.0. The main improvement is the Mobile 6.0 takes advantage of the speed of the CPU and nice design of this iPAQ 111. The screen and button functions all work well without hesitation. Wi-Fi is great. This PDA is small and light weight, but the screen is a nice size. I found it easy to read since my eyes aren't the best anymore. The speaker is not good for listening too much of anything, but fortunately the headphone jack is a standard one, so you can easily plug in a set of head phones or external speakers.
I used Audilbe.com software and that has installed easily and works fine. I installed a 4gigbyte SD card, and have stored over 10 full length audible books on to it, and still have plenty of room for added storage. This PDA is very light compared to my 4700, and that is a big bonus. So I have the same performance of an $800.00 PDA, but with a much improved OS, light in weight and very light in price. I am a Prime Amazon member, and for just $4.00 more I got over night shipping. The product has a USB cable, and an AC power supply for faster charging than the USB. Amazon also offers a cradle-charger, which I recommend. There are two types of cradles. One is your basic cradle and the other will hold another battery and charge it, along with being a cradle. I use a nice software program that displays a full screen size clock, and I use the cradle/PDA as a holder. Thus I have an easily to read bedside clock. I use this PDA at work, I am a health care provider, so I am constantly referencing to software that I have purchased. So the small size and easy to read screen, along with over all speed and storage is all a very welcome change from my large iPAQ 4700. I know the trend is to have a PDA with a phone, but I personally haven't found one that combines both features well. I use Outlook and since the OS is Microsoft, the syncing to my computer using WinXP is just easy and complete. All the changes I made during the day are transferred to my Outlook on my desktop computer and vice versa. So not only do they keep in sync, but I always have a backup of my Outlook on my PDA. With the Wi-Fi I can be anywhere in my home and connect to my email or the internet quickly and securely and no added cost. |
