5 out of 5 stars HP iPAQ 111   October 24, 2008
 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

I spent quite some time reviewing other units, from Acer Aspire One to palms and higher priced HP handhelds, and for the ease of use, setup, and applications, I found this to be perfect.

As a pharmacy student and hopefully future resident, being able to access pharmacy applications is critical. I currently have three must- have pharmacy programs uploaded, and each one works perfectly. I can spend 4 hours at least with the dim on low-medium, looking up drug interactions, appropriate dosing, and so on.

The microsoft office works excellant, and screen rotate feature is clutch for veiwing powerpoints, excel, pictures. The headphone jack works great too- and although i don't have 30 gigs of memmory,(I have 4) it is nice to have the option of having music on top of everything else.

I have access to my pharmacy notes in word and PP, drug comparisons in excel, lecture recordings, over 100 songs, Wi-FI- which with microsoft Livesearch, where you can actually say where you want to go "Chilis" in "Binghamton, NY" and it comes up with directions, phone #... It is simply priceless. Also does weather, movies, directions and more.

If you can find Wi-Fi, since I haven't been able to connect to securit-enabled network. But since there are many non-secure public sites, the option is still very useful.

I'm glad I didn't go with Acer Aspire one- which while a great product, is too big to use consistantly at the bedside/whip out of your pocket for 1-second access, and too small for me to type accurately- so the ipaq works just fine.

Reset: only used it a few times, like any handheld it has a glitch or two (mostly when I connect it to my computer) but nothing on a regular basis.

Voice recorder is awesome! The quality is adjustable, and sensitivity works very well- I have been able to record my lectures with great results (just remember- mic is on bottom). Only limit is memory card size.

The best deal: no contracts. I like having a phone that runs on its own battery and a seperate handheld. If you have a phone that has internet access, you can bluetooth to your phone and I'm pretty sure (haven't tried it yet) that you can get free nights/ weekends with no extra charge. I have the juke, which is one of the only Verizon phones that doesn't have bluetooth internet... i found out too late!

So, depends on what you need it for, but for a student/all around multipurpose tool, it is perfect.





2 out of 5 stars Poor Audio Output   October 24, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I have been using the HP iPAQ rx1955 Pocket PC for almost 3 years and am quite satisfied with it. Unfortunately, one of the multi-purpose buttons no longer works reliably. I purchased the iPAQ 111 Pocket PC as a replacement - newer operating system, more memory, faster processor, WiFi, and buttons that work. The basis features of the units (with the exception of Bluetooth) are comparable. Unfortunately, the audio output (volume level) was unacceptable. In a quiet room, I had to set the volume control to the maximum level to hear audio books. I tried all of the internal adjustments, several different audio book files, and types of headphones. Nothing would solve the problem. As I use the unit for an MP3 player when traveling on airplanes, the low audio output was not sufficient to be heard over the noise of the engines (and seat mates). I returned the unit to Amazon.com without difficulty - full marks to Amazon. I will nurse my rx1955 along until HP (or whoever) manages to market a unit that will meet my needs.


5 out of 5 stars Great value   October 6, 2008

Great value for money. Takes high capacity SD cards too. Would have liked more info. on e-book reader capability before buying. But am very happy with the ipaq. I would recommend it to all to buy.

Product is as it appears in the descriptions, but... THE BATTERY LIFE IS WORTHLESS. The model I received and tried to use for 4 days won't stay on for more than 1 minute. It appears fully charged on moment and after I unplug it from the charger/usb drive, it shows the "battery critically low" message and turns off.
I've used HP products for many years, this is the first time I have this kind of bad product show up.
I'm asking for a refund this instant.

I purchased the IPAQ a few weeks ago. It's been great esp. when you are able to get an internet connection via the WIFI. My only complaint is that the battery doesn't last to long. Other than that I love all of the features and it's easy to set-up and use.
