HP (Hewlett-Packard) iPAQ h1945 Pocket PC

Strengths: Light, fast, crisp & clear screen, can go wireless with Bluetooth adapter.

Weakness: Bluetooth card is an extra cost and has to be put in the expansion slot. Also-- would prefer a metal housing instead of plastic.

I can't even begin to compare this to my old Palm Pilot. WOW! Just much faster and nicer except for the plastic housing. Good for the $$, though.

Strengths: Tiny size (4.46 x 2.75 x .50 in.), Light weight (4.3 oz), Support mp3, wma, mpeg movies, Itegrated bluetooth

Weakness: Only one SD expansion slot (SD is expensive)

I had installed several programs on my iPAQ 1945. There were problems several times. One of them was Virtual Display setup. It should be installed on the default memory space not on the iPAQ File Store or expansion card. Other problems were solved by changing the program install order. I think they are just OS problems. Sandisk Wi-Fi SD card worked fine with a iPAQ 1945 but smaller antenna size...

HP (Hewlett-Packard) iPAQ h1945 Pocket PC

Strengths: PRICE, Lightweight, Bluetooth, SD Card.

Weakness: Battery Life.

This is by far one of the best PDA's you can buy for your money. It features a Samsung chip which actually works better than the intel Xscale models. Also the lightweight, gives this product extra points over its competitiors. It also features Bluetooth, for those of you with Bluetooth enabled Cell phones, and other devices, as well as the Secure Digital (SD Card) over compact flash. I love this...

HP (Hewlett-Packard) iPAQ h1945 Pocket PC

Strengths: Windows operating system familiarity makes this easy to set up and use. With Pocket Word and Pocket Excel you don't have to carry the jump drive to work, just upload to your PC and down load at home.

Weakness: The software manual is on the disk so either have a fast printer at home or take it to work to print out. In addition unless you have blutooth access internet access may be tricky to set up.

I would definetly buy another one, but for true internet access the next model up might be suggested. I also suggest a protective case there are a lot on the market. An aluminum one is usually the best protection howqever beware that you cannot sync with the case on the cradle. I bought a second sync cord and I don't have to take it out of the case unless I nees to.

HP (Hewlett-Packard) iPAQ h1945 Pocket PC

Strengths: Great form factor. Smaller and lighter than my Pallm V. -Great screen, i.e. brightness, contrast, color, sharpness, etc. I don't really notice the yellowish tint that other reviews (here and on other sites) have mentioned. -Great price. I purchased one

Weakness: No screen protector. The ones I found in the store are twice as much as compared to other PDA's (i.e. $20 for 12 as compared to $10 for most other PDA's) -Documentation is terrible and is basically useless. -Blue tooth difficult to setup. -Only one e

I almost bought a Dell Axim X5 but they were not avail at any store for a test drive, a big downside, buying blind online. I am so happy with the IPAQ's small design, it is great. Its awesome for music. It cam play MP3 and WMA and can be upgraded free to play MPEG movies by installing free pocket tv for pocket pc.

HP (Hewlett-Packard) iPAQ h1945 Pocket PC

Strengths: Lightweight, very fast response, lots of memory!

Weakness: The only one I can think of has to do with the battery power. Sometimes I go days w/o syncing and when I really need to use it the batteries low, but that's on me. I may go two weeks w/o syncing.

Overall, I'm very satisfied with the product. Lot's of memory. My husband downloaded the entire bible on his! Lot's of cool features. I've downloaded songs, pictures, Excel spreadsheets. I even have MicroSoft money downloaded onto it as well. You can put anything on this machine.

HP (Hewlett-Packard) iPAQ h1945 Pocket PC

Strengths: Small, quick, sleak and strong. with a 266MHz chip, it humes.

Weakness: The casing (specially the back) can be more steardy. I wish it would come with some sort of carrying case (even cheap plastic one), till I have a chance to purchase one...

Like Windows XP, it pops up quickly. It has been reliable and the battery life is very acceptable. The screen is very crisp. I am a SW developer and I have already build a few small apps for it using MS Visual Studio .Net (with Compact framework). I have not had any problems with the hardware. The audio and video components are very nice. I have not tried to use it in a remote situation.
