PalmOne Portable Keyboard for Palm III and VII
- Portable foldout keyboard for Palm III series and Palm VII handhelds
- Small form factor and lightweight
- Full-size keys for true touch-typing
- Integrated docking station
- No batteries required
The new Palm Portable Keyboard is a FULL SIZE keyboard that folds so small and compact that it drops easily into a jacket pocket, a purse, or a briefcase. It has a FULL SIZE look and feel, with a full 3 mm travel.
When I go to a meeting, I can unobtrusively take notes by dropping my Palm III into the docking connector on the Palm Portable Keyboard. When I get back home (or to the office) and synchronize (HotSynch) my Palm with Microsoft Outlook on my PC, all my notes are just a point and click away from my word processor.
Now, if Think Outside (the designers and manufacturers of the Portable Keyboard) can get enough software companies to work with them to include tighter integration to the fantastic potential that Palm computing offers when linked with the additional power and flexibility that the Palm Portable Keyboard adds ...
One more item that i would like to see Think Outside add to their wish list: please put a serial connection on the keyboard so that we can:
1) Connect to a modem while doing email using the keyboard; 2) HotSynch from the keyboard docking connector a nice capability so you can travel with the keyboard and leave the standard docking station at home.
Maybe this serial connector can be implemented as a choice of connectors that plug into the keyboard (to the right of the docking connector) and provide a selection, including: RS-232 DTE or DCE/ 9 pin or 25 pin; USB; 10-BaseT; etc.
Buy PalmOne Portable Keyboard for Palm III and VII Now
I love my old Palm III. It is reliable, it syncs well with Outlook 2000 now that I've picked up PocketMirror, and the amoritized cost is now down to pennies a day. But after years of use, I still hate that stupid little stylus. My "graffiti" technique never got better than about 90% accuracy, I can never remember how to punctuate, and don't get me started on the little touchpad keyboards. So the Palm III keyboard is a godsend. First off, its very cool. The key action is very good--soft and accurate. I'm still fiddling with the delay settings, as the delay is a bit too slow for my tastes. They keys are also a little too noisy for use in a meeting. On the plus side, typing notes into the Palm is now a breeze. Better still: the keyboard is collapsible, so its folds into a small rectangle not much bigger than a Palm, but is very nearly full sized when unfolded. When unfolded and locked, it is pretty stable (although I agree with those who say you can't really use it on your lap). It looks great. What more can you ask?I recently took my Palm III and keyboard to a conference. Everybody else was lugging around laptops. I just unfolded my keyboard, snapped on my Palm and rocked. All my Dilbertesque buddies were very jealous. (Palm probably owes me hundreds in finders fees.) The only problem: Carrying my Palm, the keyboard, and my cell phone is a lot of juggling. I need a small case that carries all three. Anybody know one?

I waited over four months to get this hot, back-ordered item, excited about the reviews it received and looking forward to taking notes on my Palm III. During the wait, my boss let me borrow his LandWare GoType keyboard, and I began to get used to its small size and usefulness.Finally, my Palm Portable Keyboard arrived in the mail and I opened it, marvelling at its sleek design and extreme portability. I installed the driver, unfolded the keyboard and started typing.
The first thing I immediately noticed was that, once unfolded, you can't put this keyboard on your lap; it's just not rigid enough. A bit of an inconvenience (the GoType is sturdy enough to do this), but I figured I'd just use a hard surface when I need to type.
The next thing I noticed was that after installing the keyboard driver, suddenly my entire Palm OS had slowed down to a crawl. I visited Palm's website and sure enough, they said this was a problem with the driver. They had a beta driver that I installed to fix the problem.
But then the biggest problem was obvious: The Palm Portable Keyboard can't catch up with your typing. I type pretty fast (40-60 WPM) and it was painful to watch the Palm lagging a few seconds behind me after I finished a line of text. In comparison, the LandWare GoType enters text instantaneously. As a technical writer, I can't afford to have people slow down during meetings while my keyboard catches up.
I called Palm support on this and they said they were aware of the problem, and would likely release a driver to fix the slowdowns eventually. I've waited long enough, Palm Inc. I'm going out and buying a GoType instead.
To Sum up: If you like nifty technology, need extreme portability, and don't type very fast, the Palm Portable Keyboard is worth getting. If you need a reliable product that is sturdy and useful, get the LandWare GoType instead.

The inventor's of the Palm Portable Keyboard have have developed an incredible accessory to the Palm PDA Platform. You have got to see it and try it out to appreciate its marvel. It literally is a full size keyboard that folds up and is only slightly larger then the Palm PDA itself. It even comes in a nice carrying case. Inputing information into your Palm is a snap and I really appreciate not having to write, using the grafiti tool to add information into my Palm. If you use the Memo feature on your palm to jot down some notes, type a lengthy memo, etc., this this keyboard is for you. Typing is a breeze and feels very natural as if you were typing at your PC. There are specific keys on the board that replace the need to tap on a menu item to be called up. I cannot emphasize the portability and light weight of the keyboard and the uniqueness of how it folds up into compact size. If you are a regular user of your Palm PDA then this keyboard is a must. You will not regret spending the extra bucks in lieu of convenience.I've had the Palm Portable Keyboard for not quite 24 hours. It's great for text writing, entering data in Quicksheet, and using shortcuts and function keys. Well made--it does wow my tech friends.Some problems mentioned by others... * The need for a solid, flat surface instead of your knees. I've cut out a piece of masonite to rest the keyboard while in my car. Works fine. Since it doesn't weigh much, I can even slip the board into a tote bag or set it on top of a soft sided briefcase. If the features of the Palm Portable are the ones you want, this is a work around. * Slow response to key input. I noticed that but there is a buffer which catches up when I stop to think. That's not a bad habit for my type of writing.
A problem not yet mentioned by others... * Need to increase the P3 memory from 2 to 8. Maybe it's the SmartDoc text editor I'm using or maybe I'm just writing more that I did before, but I can see a memory problem coming fast.

elago Stylus Ball for iPhone 5/4S/3GS, iPad and Galaxy -World First Replaceable Tip (Extra Rubber Ti
- Designed for iPhone, iPad and iPod iTouch,Galaxy Tab.
- Soft touch pen-point for better screen-protection.
- Precise touch and control, easily avoid pressing the wrong keys.
- World First Replaceable Tip
- Extra Rubber Tip included
Everyone I've gotten this stylus for love it and use it including myself! It's definitely well worth the price!I was pretty uncomfortable with the keypad on my new iPhone because my hands shake a little and the pads of my fingertips are too big for the keypad. This stylus is fantastic. I use it every day (on my Kindle Touch too). It enables me to type as quickly as I do on a regular keyboard. I'm very happy with it. And it has a good pen, one with a non-bleeding refill!Ball point writing pen with cap that doesn't fit on the ther end. Was hoping it was a thin head stylus...oh well, I'm glad I didn't spend a lot, but still a little much for a cheap pen. At least it doesn't glop or leak when you write. Short stylus makes writing a little difficult.I purchased this to play a simple drawing game because I can draw much better with an instrument than my finger. It's a great price if that's about all you want to do with it. Sometimes it doesn't make contact with the screen well so it skips. The tip is large enough that you can't really "see" what you're drawing as well as you could with a regular pencil. For the price, definitely worth 4 stars. If you're looking for precision, you'll have to pay for it.

PalmOne Universal Essentials Kit (P10959U)
- Great PALM accessories for your PALM handheld -- all in one convenient package!
- Each kit contains a case, multi-function stylus, and screen protectors
- Essential for all PALM models
The case is semi-rigid ballistic nylon with a nice quality zipper enclosure on three sides. My guess is that it would keep its contents safe from moderate shocks or compression (both flat and on the corners). It's also attractive in a low-profile sort of way. On the inside, there are slots for a few credit cards or ID badges as well as two smaller ones for Palm expansion cards. The only two drawbacks are that the case doesn't lie flat portfolio-style when opened (this may ease up with age) and the only method of securing your Palm to the case is an enclosed Velcro sticker. I've never been a fan of attaching sticky items onto electronics, although the case of my Tungsten E is so ugly I may break my policy.
The multi-function pen is not exactly as pictured it's much bigger than I expected and unfortunately too big to fit in the case. However, there's a lot of functionality in there: a black pen, a pink (!) highlighter, a mechanical pencil and a Palm Stylus. It's lightweight but almost to the point of feeling cheap and it rattles when you write with it. Plus, the method of selecting which point pops out is a little cumbersome and it's probably only a matter of time before I write on my Palm with highlighter. The packaging includes instructions for replacing the ink and pencil, so at least it promises life beyond the initial cartridges.
Finally, the screen protectors are just that. They work that's about all you can say. I expect that they'll keep me from freaking out when I inevitably highlight on my screen.
So, while the solutions are far from perfect, you'd be hard-pressed to find a package so all-encompassing or budget-conscious. A must-have for a new Palm user, student, etc.I returned the Palm, so never used it. The items in the kit looked well made.

Navitech Black Executive Premium Leather Flip Carry Case With Adjustable Stand & Anit -Glare Dual La
- The leather cover adds style, personalization and protects your acer from bumps, scratches, and falls
- Magnetic flap closure for a clean sealed cover & easy access and removability of your acer iconia
- Full access to all functions & charging while cased including access to screen functions
- Includes adjustable stand for perfect viewing and can be placed comfortably for gaming on the go.
- This Protector Film is made of high quality plastic and is very lightweight and impact resistant & protects your screen from scratches and removes glare
Before buying this case for my Acer Iconia Tab W500 10.1 inch tablet, I did a lot of research and read a lot of reviews--not just at Amazon--over a period of two weeks. In one of the reviews, a woman stated that she didn't like a case she bought because of the horrible odor but it would cost too much to return it to the supplier in Europe so she was stuck with it. I then made a mental note to be sure I didn't buy one from a foreign manufacturer.
But guess what! Amazon didn't give the location of the supplier in the details, and in my naivete as a new Amazon user, I assumed that I could return the case to Amazon in the unlikely event that it wasn't what I expected. I now have a case with a bad odor that costs $60-$100 to return to England! It's advertised as "premium" leather, so I wasn't concerned until I received it and found that it did have a strong, horrendous odor. I promptly placed it in my utility room in hopes the odor would dissipate. Because I was anxious to get a case to protect my tablet, I checked it every day to see if I could use it. Although I already had a bag to carry the tablet, keyboard, and accessories, I wanted more protection for the tablet while I was using it. After a week the odor seemed to have dissipated, and I gladly tried it on my tablet.
The case fit perfectly, allowing access to all the buttons, both cameras, USB ports, etc. The tablet even attaches to the keyboard without the need to remove the case, and the built-in stand is nice because the tablet is somewhat top heavy. The magnetic closure is great. The tablet seems to be well shielded in case I accidentally drop it. At first I only used the tablet occasionally. But later, when I used it for an hour or so at a time I could smell the odor while using the tablet and I could still smell it on my hands until I washed them--sometimes after washing them.
So much for "premium" leather.
P.S. I still haven't applied the protector film on the screen so I can't comment on it.

Thumbs up to the creators
Buy Handspring Wireline 33.6 Modem Springboard Module Now
The Handspring modem is one of the middle class modems on the market, and Amazon is offering at a great price! If you want to connect to the internet on your handspring at a good price, then this is your best bet. Although it may not be the fastest OR the thinnest in its class, it functions very well. Besides, on a tiny screen with limited content, you don't need to have a 56k modem for the connection to be fast. And, if you don't mind, carrying around an extra half-inch on your palm isn't that bad. You would be amazed with what you can do with a palm pilot hooked up to the internet. On the go, I often synchronize avant-go, connect to AOL anywhere, and browse the web all in the palm of my hand. So, if you want to be truly "connected" then buy this modem while they last.Read Best Reviews of Handspring Wireline 33.6 Modem Springboard Module Here
I have had mine for a couple of weeks now and still haven't figured out how to work it. The instruction manual is not very helpful. It doesn't even tell you how to go about getting mail and accessing the internet othere than saying you need "third party software" to do so. Well what else would one use a modem for? Shouldn't the software be included or at least suggestions of which to use? I downloaded Eudora Suite (free) and just can't figure this out. It should not be this difficult for an average person to use. I will continue to work with it but if I can't get it up and running soon I will return it. So far it's been a waste of money. I amn very disappointed.Tuesday, February 25, 2014

- features three stylus instruments – lets you keep spares on hand.
- Compatibility with Palm m500 series handhelds
- Lifetime Warranty
Buy Belkin PDA Stylus Pen for Palm m500 series - 4 pak Now
I kept track of the original stylus for my M500 so long that no one in the local stores stocked them, so I tried Amazon, which offers the usual overwhelming number of choices. The Belkin Product is essentially an exact replacement except the shaft is black instead of brushed metal. The fit is very good; it doesn't slip out on its own, and doesn't fight back when you need to remove it. There is a slight protrusion above the surface of the M500 when the stylus is fully inserted, but since the top of the stylus is nicely rounded it has a natural appearance. If you prefer the weight and feel of a metal stylus, like the original, this is the next best thing. Also, you now get 4 instead of 3 styli.Read Best Reviews of Belkin PDA Stylus Pen for Palm m500 series - 4 pak Here
These were fine, fit into the M500 perfectly. I thought I remember some reviewer saying that his broke when he dropped one or something like that that is ridiculous there is no way these just "break".Want Belkin PDA Stylus Pen for Palm m500 series - 4 pak Discount?
While there is a slight difference from the original Palm M500 series stylus, Belkin's stylus is the closest you can get to the original. It fits into the Palm stylus slot perfectly. It even has the reset pin when the top is unscrewed, just like the original. A great value for the 4 you get in the pack.It may be only a humble stylus for an older palm PDA, but it is exactly right for the job.Wednesday, February 5, 2014

Toshiba PA3947U-1EAB Touchscreen Pen for Tablet
- Physical Characteristics-Length-4.3;
- Physical Characteristics-Diameter-0.4;
- TOSHIBA THRIVE TOUCHSCREEN PEN
- Black with chrome coating clip
- Round stylus rubber pointer
- Comfortable grip and weight
- Helps keep the screen clean from finger smudge
- Soft tip glides smoothly
Overall a good prouduct that does what it is supposed to do.
Edit 9/28: I am sad to say I have had to take this review down a star. I love this pen for what it is, but over the past few days it has worn down. This is not overly noticable by looking at the product, but when writing notes the pen sticks more to the screen and I must tilt the pen away from the tip to write as smoothly as I once could. I plan on stoking up on a few of the cheaper knock off pens.I hope this is just a manufacturer defect and everyone else can ejnoy this pen to the fullest.

Use a very light touch. I have not noticed any wear. It keeps smudges off screen. I wish there was a way to attach it to my Tablet. I keep it in the case and use it most of the time.Read Best Reviews of Toshiba PA3947U-1EAB Touchscreen Pen for Tablet Here
As my title says, with a touch screen, you should be able to get away with using your fingers. Why need a stylus?A few points it's hard to see from the picture, but it's got kind of a rubbery, squishy end to the pointer. So, I have yet to get a regular stylus (like you might see with a Nintendo DS) to work on the device. But this pen has a nice heft to it, and it's really handy to use. One of the biggest complaints about the Thrive is that it's a fingerprint magnet, which is 100% true.
Having said that GET the screen protector. I hate screen protectors, but on this tablet they're going to perform two functions obviously prevent scratches, but they also cut down on fingerprints. So does using this pen. The screen is gorgeous, but you'll appreciate not having to wipe it down all the time.
Want Toshiba PA3947U-1EAB Touchscreen Pen for Tablet Discount?
Every touchscreen, be it on a gps, phone, or tablet, of mine suffers from the oils in my system and always has fingerprints. However, since I got this "pen" they suffer much less. It performs exactly as advertised and the soft tip actually has more friction to move on the surface than my finger and leaves absolutely no streaks or prints. As a bonus, it doesn't seem to pick up dust or dirt and require cleaning. I'd buy it again.Attractive design. However, after a few weeks use the soft tip end started falling out and the clip arm broke. Will be buying a different manufacturer replacement.Friday, January 31, 2014

- A revolutionary way to customize your device with Supper durable Ultra high gloss finish vinyl skin & High resolution digital printing with photo quality!
- Precision cut to fit your device, scratch resistant protective shields with high-quality vinyl.
- Supper easy to apply, with EASY Apply technology feature air bubble FREE in the application.
- Non permanent adhesive allow easy peel off & leave NO sticky residue behind.
- Thin enough to maintain compatibility with most accessories; tough enough to absorb the minor abuse from daily use.
I am giving three stars only because my emails never got responded to (and I sent several). The item did get to me and I like having my phone with diff. styles on them. (If they would have been responsive... then they would have gotten 4 stars.) Why not five... because over wear and tear it starts peeling off.... however. It peels like an outer-shell portion and still shows the design which is cool enough instead of having a peeling phone. It's made of pretty sturdy material. I like it!

HP iPAQ 4155 Pocket PC
- Slim, sleek, and affordable
- Integrated Bluetooth for wireless communication with other Bluetooth devices
- Secure Digital slot for greater storage and expansion
- VPN software provides enhanced security for wireless connection
- Removable/rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery for continuous power
But first, I'd like to start with one piece of advice for any first time Pocket PC purchaser.
** If you're unsure between two models, ALWAYS choose the smaller. **
Why? Because the extra features of a large-sized PDA (like a fingerprint reader?!?!) are almost never worth the increased probability you choose to leave it behind. A PDA's usefulness scales rapidly with its vicinity to you. And a PDA is just about the size of a pocket.... You get the idea..
Okay:
THE PROS (somewhat obvious)
--------------------------
1. it is ultra thin and weighs only 5 ounces.
2. the screen is bright
3a. it has wireless 802.11b
3b. the wireless features are now very intuitive and somewhat secure, a vast improvement over pocket pc 2002.
4. it has bluetooth for syncing wirelessly or for accessing your bluetooth enabled phone. (This I haven't tested with this ipaq)
5. it comes with a cradle, unlike some of their other models
THE CONS
--------
1. HP removed the stylus holder from the cradle... which means you can't hold an extra stylus conveniently in front of a docked ipaq anymore. Which means, if you want to quickly access something on a docked ipaq, you have to remove the stylus, which you must do very carefully or you'll disconnect the 'paq.
2. the battery life is much poorer than pretty much all competitors'; most notably the Dell AXim series.
3. no compact flash, only secure digital. Although, almost all compact flash ports are typically used for these days is to hold 802.11b cards, which this device has integrated. And SD memory has gotten remarkably cheap, so it shouldn't bother most users. Still, if you have a compact flash requirement, keep that in mind.
4. the screen is slightly yellow when viewed from a skewed angle. Some people care about this... if you're one of those people, be advised. Straight-on, the colors are accurate, however.
5. the new navpad isn't so great for games
Okay, that's it:
Finally, some advice
1. about the wireless features: they drain a lot of juice, so simply turn them on and off as you need them.
2. if you use it to read eBooks, the MS reader it comes with is already outdated! (And the error message is vague about that... I had to figure out the problem by reading microsoft's knowledge base.. not fun.) You'll need to do an update.
3. Buy a protective case; the one it comes with is basically garbage.
Buy HP iPAQ 4155 Pocket PC Now
I had been always curious about the Pocket PC OS and its usefulness and practicality on the PDA environment. I am now a believer and definitely prefer it over the Palm OS due to its ease of use, compatibility and similarity to the Windows PC environment. This also results in a faster learning curve.Integrated wireless:
This was the selling factor, and it did not dissapoint me. I got it to work at home and at the office, where I connect to different wireless access points. The iPAQ allows you to create individual profiles for every connection, so there is no need to manually configure every time you switch networks.
Bluetooth:
This technology is becoming more common around airports, offices, malls and other places, although probably you'll need to incur in a connection fee. I have not tested this feature yet although my iPAQ recently came across and recognized a Bluetooth network on one of the airports I travelled to.
Synchronization:
The iPAQ supports Outlook (preferably 2002) for Calendar, e-mail, notes, file and task synching. The Active Synch software is included and required on your host PC in order to start synchronizing with your PDA. A maximum o 2 PCs (partnerships) can be established for synching. Methods of synchronization include IR(Infrared), USB(using the included cradle), WLAN (yes, you can synch wireless) or serial.
Word and Excel documents are automatically converted into Pocket PC format when they are synchronized with the iPAQ. The original document needs to be copied into the Pocket PC folder (Pocket_PC My Documents) on your host PC before performing the synch.
Internet:
In order to connect to the Internet, you are required to be connected to a network, be it WLAN or Bluetooth. There are a few interesting web links included with your iPAQ and you can add your own favorites as well. Navigations is similar to Internet Explorer although you are required to scroll up/down and left/right continously on web sites that are not mobile-friendly.
E-mails:
E-mail accounts on the iPAQ are setup in an almost exact manner as Outlook on a normal PC. By default, and in order to conserve memory, e-mail attachments are not downloaded, there's also a default limit of e-mails you can carry at a time. E-mails can be downloaded while connected to the Internet or synched using the methods mentioned previously.
What about games? Two games are included: Guess what? Solitaire is one of them! The other one is Jawbreaker, a very simple but extremely entertaining game. There are many web sites with additional programs that can be downloaded for your iPAQ.
Programs and utilities included:
MSN Messenger, Windows Media Player, Pocket Excel and Word, Pocket MSN, Microsoft Reader, Calculator, Terminal Services Client among others.
Security:
Password security is optional; there are two security options, a simple 4-digit number and a more complex alphanumeric password option. Wireless connection security is obtained using 64 or 128 bit WEP encryption. Obviously your PDA is as secure as the network it is connecting to. Setting up 128 bit encryption on your iPAQ won't work if your wireless access point is unsecured.
Time settings: Up to two different time zones are available at the same time.
Display:
Very clear display, sharp, easy to read text, adjustable text size and fonts in some programs.
Battery:
The iPAQ possesses a respectable battery duration. It obviously varies according to your battery saving settings. Reducing the default screen brightness helps as well as turning off the wireless access or lowering the sound volume.
Settings:
You can monitor memory usage and power consumption, remove programs, adjust backlight settings, align the screen, sharpen the text, etc.
Other features:
Voice recording: There's a button on the upper left corner of the iPAQ to start recording short messages or reminders, very handy.
MP3 audio: MP3 files can be downloaded and played on your PDA using Windows Media Player. A headphone jack is also available for your private listening pleasure. Memory is limited though, is not like you can have a CD full of music on your iPAQ, don't confuse it with an MP3 player.
Letter Recognizer A very cool option where the iPAQ attempts to recognize your handwriting and converts it into readable text.
Block recognizer It's similar to the Palm's graffiti recognition
Transcriber It recognizes words written in cursive
Notes can also be quickly handwritten as if using the iPAQ as a paper Notepad.
Images can also be viewed using your iPAQ, and as with the MP3 files, you should consider the memory limitations.
Memory:
Additional memory can be obtained with Secured Digital (SD) memory cards. These come on 128, 256 and 512MB sizes at reasonable prices.
The HP iPAQ 4155 is a complete, full-featured piece of equipment, well worth its price.
Read Best Reviews of HP iPAQ 4155 Pocket PC Here
I bought the HP IPAQ 4155 for 3 Reasons: 1)I set up a Wireless B/G Network in my home and needed to access it while I was on the road.2) I was becoming dissastifed with how slow my Treo 300 was surfing the web.
3) I wanted to surf the web as fast as possible without a laptop or PC.
I've had this unit about a month. I am extremely satisfied with it thus far. It is my first Pocket PC. I've been using the Palm OS for over 5 years. To be sure, the Palm OS is more intuitive to operate. But I can do so much more with Windows Mobile Premium 2003. The HP IPAQ is a great MP3 Player (get excellent sounding stereo headphones), a very good PDA and, above all, has tremendous WIFI signal strength. The WIFI is built into the unit so there is really nothing to set up. I connected to my wireless network at home as soon as I took the unit out of the box. Lots of people have wireless routers in NYC so it is simple for me to connect (for free) when I am outside my home. I find the WIFI signal strength on the unit is about 1500 feet; but that depends upon the Router I am connecting to. I am so satisfied with the HP IPAQ 4155 that I am seriously considering ditching my Treo 300 and getting a Bluetooth Phone so I can surf the Internet when I cannot pick up a WIFI signal. The Processer inside this unit is very fast. I have not tried the Bluetooth yet.
The only negatives were the cheap case and cradle and the weak battery. My battery was going down to 0 after 2 hours of wifi surfing. I rectified these deficiencies by buying a hotsync charge and sync cable, a new custom case and a 2000mAh battery, which required a bigger battery door. Now I can surf a good 4 hours daily with the wifi before the battery completely drains.
Bottom Line: HP hit a homerun with this unit.

iPAQ 4155 in my opinion is simply the best handheld device on the market right now. Combination of ideal size, full features and excellent performance is almost hard to believe. I've used it for about a month now and I am very satisfied.I use almost all of the advanced features including Bluetooth connectivity to my Sony T610 cell phone for remote internet access (this setup works quite well with T-Mobile data account), wi-fi networking at work and home, terminal services for control over other computers, data synchronization through wi-fi, VPN connectivity, etc etc. And of course, email and other related scheduling features work very well. All of this with a familiar Windows interface that is, I am happy to report, stable if not entirely intuitive.
There are few relatively small gripes, like I wish the back cover of the unit was silver (aluminum) to match the front, the cradle could have been better designed no to put so much tension on the connector, more memory would have been nice (this, however, can be remedied quite easily by adding a non intrusive SD memory chip), the OS integration could be more stable (thankfully it is easy to recover from the rare freeze), the included case needs a belt clip, and such. However, these should not deter anyone form enjoying the fine product that 4155 is.
You can use this thing as a mp3 player, use instant messenger, add a digital camera through the SDIO expansion slot, install software and games, read books, do work with email, excel, word, surf the net, connect to networks, and on and on... If you can imagine a miniature laptop pc, you are getting the picture. It is not however, an exact duplication of laptop or desktop capabilities. But it is a remarkably useful and powerful tool.
One word of advice: it takes patience and determination to make it do what you want it to do, particularly with more advanced features. But if you like this kind of stuff, then the capabilities are definitely there for you to use. If you're not technically savvy, then have someone knowledgeable help you set up everything you want and DO A BACK UP of it!!! Once you got that, you have one very powerful tool.
Verrrry Cool.The new iPAQ 4155 is what I've been looking for. I've hopped around from Palm OS to Pocket PC, prefering the Pocket PC desktop integration and OS but finding that most of the high-powered ones were just way to big to carry around. The 4155 is TINY smaller than my Clie I replaced and light! Easy to carry around, I don't even notice it in my pocket. The screen is bright and crisp. The 400mhz Intel processor is plenty for my needs. I've played games on it, emulated an old Atari, handled all my work, and linked it to databases with no problem.
The integrated wireless was the selling point for me. I'm a wireless engineer, so it helps to be able to carry around such a small device with built-in 802.11b. My only complaint is that it does not allow you to manually set the SSID information if it automatically detects wireless network SSIDs, but that probably won't be a big problem for most users.
Again, this is the PERFECT handheld. I've finally found a handheld I absolutely love and I've been looking since the original Palm Pilot.
