HP iPAQ hx2750 Pocket PC Review
Lisa Gade writes "The hx2000 line replaces the successful but aging iPAQ 2215 as HP's mid-sized
Pocket PC with dual slots and lots of power. We at pdabuyersguide.com take
an
in-depth look at
the top-of-the-line hx2750, which is the fastest Pocket PC to date. It has a 624MHz
processor, 128 megs of RAM, dual slots, WiFi, Bluetooth and a biometric fingerprint
scanner for security. Sporting a new ergonomic design, the device comes with
a transparent flip cover everyone is sure to love. If you have a need for speed
and a fat wallet, this might be the PDA for you (if you can live with Windows
rather than Linux)!" Speaking of Windows on small devices, there's coverage -- with screenshots -- originally from neowin.com, but now removed from that site, of the upcoming Windows Mobile 2005 at mobileread.com and also at davesipaq.com.
This is tangentially related to the post.....
What are some popular opininos on the difference between Palm OS and Windows Moblie? And more importantly, how easy is it to port simple code to either OS?
M$ PocketPC is a toy operating system for stupid people who like expensive tech toys. For agenda I still prefer a cheap Palm or any mobile phone. I use my iPAQ as a little portable computer. My iPAQ ROM was flashed by me to install Familiar Linux (http://www.handhelds.org) on it.
The funny is that many ex-Compaq (and now HP) engineers participate of handhelds.org site and Linux for iPAQ development, but neither Compaq or HP admit this fact publically.
Unfortunately Zaurus is not sold here in Brazil.
