A cheap alternative

If budget is a constraint for you and you still want a windows OS interface, go for this PDA, its worth every buck you pay for it.


Pros :




  1. Excellent colors, even better colors than some of the iPAQs out there




  2. If you have worked on windows, its a breeze to operate.




  3. Enough applications built in to keep you going




  4. Can add more memory (CF card), I think it even takes a Microdrive, but I guess its irrelevant here






Cons :


This is more important now




  1. It runs on the old Windows CE OS, so don’t expect to run the latest apps that run on the new Windows CE.




  2. Its pretty bulky compared to the iPAQs and the others, but thats a compromise you make for the cost




  3. Data transfer from PC to PDA and vice versa is through the cradle and something called synchronization, and believe me its really a tedious and frustrating affair, I would rather have drag and drop feature here.




  4. Some files cant be placed anywhere you want, it needs to be in a particular folder for some applications to work with them.




  5. Outdated, this is pretty much an outdated model now, with the kind of features available on the newer PDAs in the market




  6. The support and available download applications are very few in my regard, compared to what you get for say an iPAQ.






Well over all, if you are on a real tight budget and can get a good deal on this then go for it, if you can wait, go for an iPAQ , I am still dreaming of an iPAQ ;)
