Info on the New iPAQ H3800

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the hardware-to-lust-after dept.

Jason Dunn sent us to a link on his site about the new new iPaq which is due out relatively soon. Aesthetic changes, more memory, and I assume Linux will run on it as well or better then the existing models.

    No, trust me, you really *do* want 64MB ram and 32MB flash. By the time you put Linux in a 16MB flash, you only have 2MB left for applications.

    And the 5 button joypad is needed to play gsoko.

    Wired has an article on what Palm might be up to with Be. Interesting in light of this story.

    Battery capacity in the new iPaq is higher (1400 mAh compaired to I believe 900 in the older iPaqs.)

    Also, I saw over on Brighthand.coms fourms that someone offers a battery replacement service for the iPaq. One was with a 2100mAh battery.

    Honestly though, on my iPaq 3630, the battery life has been fine. It sits in it's cradle and charges while I sync it. Wasn't a huge deal when I traveled either. Brought the AC adaptor (instead of extra batteries), and just plugged it in when I got the battery warning after about 3-5 days. I was doing the same for my cell phone, so whats the difference?
