HP iPAQ hx4705 Reviewed

Posted by Hemos on from the cool-machines dept.

Tong writes "PDA Buyer's Guide has published an in-depth review of the HP iPAQ hx4605. 'This has been the month of the iPAQ with so many new models released! The hx4705 is one of the most anticipated because it features a fantastic VGA display and a super-fast 624MHz processor. Heap on plenty of memory, Bluetooth, WiFi, both CF and SD slots and a touch pad navigator and you've got the 4705. It's one of only two Pocket PCs with a VGA display sold in the US.' Read the full review on the buyer's guide."

    I don't know about all that, but it's got a rubber ducky in its background, and that's good enough for me!

    unless you have excellent eyes, you'll discover why Microsoft didn't go with a true VGA experience

    I heard the same thing back in the '80s, my ANSI ASCII pr0n never looked right in MS-DOS.

    When I first read that title, I read it as, "HP iPAQ h4x0rz..."

    When I saw that phrase, I spent a good 20 seconds trying to figure out what the non-l33t translation for 'hx4705' was.

    "HP iPAQ hacks... No... Um, hat attacks? No. What the hell does that say?!?"

    Sure, you can say that I spend too much time on IRC, but I blame the editors for posting an article title that wouldn't pass the lameness filter if I tried to add it as a comment. What am I supposed to think, other than 'wow, that's some seriously obfuscated l33t'?

    Substitute "Apple" for "HP" and "iPod" for "iPaq h4150" and it reads the same way.
