 Compaq's
iPAQ pocket PC combines a real Intel processor, new hardware,
and a sleek industrial design that fits in your hand to create a
powerful and stylish PDA you can take anywhere. It offers 32 MB
of RAM and 16 MB of ROM--enough memory to hold a robust package
of applications while leaving you a lot of room for your own
applications.
The color TFT screen produces 4,086 colors, and
you can view the screen from many angles and in a variety of
lighting situations. The Compaq iPAQ wraps the power of a
Microsoft Windows operating system in a new interface designed
for ease of use in a portable format. Even if you've never used
a computer or digital organizer, learning to use the Compaq iPAQ
is easy.
Other highlights of the Compaq iPAQ include a microphone and a
speaker as well as an audio-in jack. It features an infrared
port for wireless data transfer. The Compaq iPAQ uses five
buttons plus a five-way joystick. The iPAQ connects to either
USB or serial ports. The iPAQ allows you to input data in your
own handwriting, by soft keyboard, by voice recorder, or through
inking. Both audible and visual alarms alert you when you have a
scheduled event.
What sets this Pocket PC apart from similar devices on the
market is its sleeve like expansion-pack system. The
expansion-pack system allows you add functionality to suit your
particular needs. Expansion-pack options currently include a
CompactFlash pack, the ability to attach a CompactFlash card
slot to your iPAQ, an executive leather and PC Card expansion
pack, and a water-resistant sports pack. In the future, Compaq
plans to release a global positioning system pack, so you can
make your iPAQ pocket PC into a GPS unit.
The Compaq iPAQ is sporty and small. At 5.11 by 3.28 by 0.62
inches and 6 ounces, it fits in your hand or slides into your
pocket with ease. Don't let the size fool you into thinking you
don't get many applications with your iPAQ.
You receive a great
deal of Microsoft software, such as Pocket versions of Word,
Excel, Internet Explorer, and Outlook as well as the full
desktop version of Outlook 2000. Compaq has also built in
utilities so that frequent actions--such as switching between
tasks, adjusting volume, or changing backlighting--are only a
click away.
Compaq
offers a one-year warranty on parts and labor for the iPAQ.
