    "What is wrong with these people?"

    by innatetech on June 7, 2006

    Pros: Light, mobile, great for in car or on the go

    Cons: Pricey, speed, battery about like a PDA

    Summary: Doubt most of the whiners here even own one. Got mine via Best Buy online. For what it's supposed to do it works well. Better than my HP hx4700 so I see why HP is discontinuing those. Not as good as a full blown laptop but it's not a full blown laptop so don't expect it to be. Runs a bit better with an upgraded 1GB DDR2 PC4200 DIMM. Get a second battery and your good to go. Great for jotting meeting notes. Runs Door-to-Door Co-Pilot just fine and plays all the music and video you could want. Get a SD/MMC to CF adapter to run newer flash cards and a good set of headphones like the Bose Quite Comfort 2 or Shure e3r and you'll be all set. I really enjoy mine! It's a great first shot at the next wave in PC technology... just can't wait to see a Core 2 Duo model of this little guy!

    I think the same way as you. i don't own one of these yet but remember when PC's themselves cost thousands of dollars and had one tenth the capabilities that this tiny device has, remember the 286 days? and prices? So when I hear the reviewer say, yikes to the $1000 price tag, I wonder to myself, what do they expect for new inovations to cost. Prices will drop as people start buying them and competition forces kick in. But it's a great device to fill the need of those not wanting to lug a full blown laptop around and can hook this up to a PC at home to transfer notes taken at school or work to a real computer at night. Thanks for your review! This is my first actually which was inspired by reading yours!
