New Re: Revenge of the iPAQ - stuffed again

Tried to use the iPAQ today & it keeps telling me it can't see the LinkSys Wi-Fi card.

Zaurus still sees it & uses it.

Ahhh well - I am done wasting time of this PDA - and yet it looks so nice !!!!

New Re: An expensive alternative (but rids the plug-in failures)
The new Toshiba 400mhz unit (see link below). They sell a bluetooth model (similar to iPAQ 3780) and a Wi-Fi unit so one doesn't have to put up with adapter jackets & failing adapters.

It comes with an SD slot and a CF slot whereas iPAQ only has the SD slot & back-pack unit to add the CF slot.

But this baby is rather expensive at $US 599 (perhaps too expensive in fact)

Cheers Doug

#1 edit - Just noticed that this baby supports an expansion pack that adds a VGA monitor connection & can support 800 x 600 res on the monitor this same expansion pack adds a USB support - hmmm - does than mean a printer ? - add IBM's via voice (comes with the iPAQ) & one might have a workable mini PC.

New Sounds like the iPaq is a waste of space.

"Ah. One of the difficult questions."

New Re: I am selling mine - but I know of satisfied users


I am dissapointed with the frustrations I have had with it - it looks such a nice unit (as I keep saying)

but my experience is nothing but trouble with the plug-ins and the MSIE software and especially with the pathetic Win2002 network configuration. I guess I can't blame that on Compaq - also the Zaurus has its own problems - it now fails to recco SD cards & I am sending it back under warranty.

I would say that all of this emerging technology is going to be troublesome for a while.

Here in HK the 400 mhz Compaq 3970 has appeared - still won't take CF cards in the base unit. I managed to see one of the new toxhiba 400mhz units but was quoted 5,500 HK$ which is nothing short of extortion for what it is.

Cheers

         An unflattering view of IPAQ + CompaqHP - (Ashton)

Ahh, the good old days when I didn't know how stupid I was.
