Please log in for more thread options I recently bought on eBay HP iPaq 3115 and sold Sony Clie PEG-NX70V. The
iPaq is absolutely perfect, especially WiFi. If there is a signal it will
sniff it out and connect by itself without fiddling around like with the
Clie (Palm OS). I bought 1 Gb SD card which stores tons of pictures, which I
resize to fit the screen so they are small in size. It plays excellent
quality videos, music... MS Mobile is also optimized for PDA. It is straight
forward to connect to internet, Clie was pain. The file structure for
storing pictures and videos is "normal" which was totally retarded in Palm
OS. The pictures load instantly, slide show could have interval 1 sec
between slides, Palm OS was 5 sec. You had to wait forever. Clie screen was
larger than iPaq, but it was impossible to view any larger number of
pictures, because it took forever to load the thumbs. I had to create
animation in Jask Animation to view series of pictures. There is no fuss
with PC mobile. It is like win XP.
iPaq is perfect size to fit nicely in the pocket and very decent size of
screen to show you photos around. I like and I have a lot of gadgets, but
iPaq is so far the best and very practical toy.
There are few problems with PC mobile:
1. PocketTV which plays videos does not allow you to browse through the
nested folders (shame!). I had to go to file explorer and select video that
way.
2. Videos do not show thumbs like Clie did, so you do not know what kind of
video it is.
3. When you close a program it actually does not close, but it moves to the
background. You have to go through Settings/System/Memory/Running Programs
and closed all. This is weird! You could have may program running
simultaneously without knowing why the PDA is running so slow.
I would say that PC Mobile is more elegant than Palm OS, but still it is not
elegant enough. It is still not for people without computer knowledge. It is
shame, because it so close, but not close enough. This would take perhaps a
couple of hours for a hacker to fix it. I wish someone could do it for me.
I hope, this will give you some info which you were looking for.
