CNET is probably one of the most valuable tools you can use when it comes time to buy your hand held device. They offer both editorial reviews and user reviews of different products that are currently on the market, along with reviews of older pieces of technology. One example of mobile technologies is the hand held devices produced by Hewlett Packard. One in particular is the HP iPAQ Pocket PC HX4700. This device is top of the line and is currently being sold and manufactured around the world. Users gave the HX4700 a 7.3 and the editorial staff gave it a review of 7.9, which are both excellent ratings.
The reviews come from its outstanding performance and speed. The HX4700 is operating on Windows Mobile 2003 2nd Edition and has the capabilities of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, along with a 624 MHz XScale processor from Hewlett Packard. The four inch screen is unbelievable with its color pixels and it features a replaceable battery to ensure that documents and other information are not lost when the battery dies. It also features a large quantity of memory and is equipped with Outlook, Word, Excel and Internet Explorer.
If there is a downside to the HX4700, then it's all in size. It is a bit bulky, but is still a very sleek pocket PC. There is a small handicap present when the user first operates the new touchpad and this can translate into poor gaming, for those that use their pocket PC for gaming in particular. If you are in the market for a pocket PC for gaming purposes, then you may want to turn to Dell's Axim.
Granted, there are other manufacturers of mobile technologies that may come with a cheaper price tag, but only you can make that determination.
One opponent in the mobile technology market is Apple's iPhone. Users of the iPhone are hard pressed to find many drawbacks to this product other than the price, which is a whopping $399. Before you make any purchase, first determine your needs and take a look at the individual specifications of each hand held.
