HP iPAQ 1910 Pocket PC - Complete Review Of This PDA. What Sohuld You Watch Out For?

The HP iPAQ 1910 Pocket PC is among the simplest and cheapest of the iPAQ models. You can get your hands on one of these for only $140 at Amazon). But we all know the old saying: "I'm not rich enough to buy cheap". So maybe the urge to buy a cheap PDA is not the best thing to do? I'll leave the final decision to you, but before you go ahead and make that decision, lets' take a closer look at some of the pro's and con's of this device. This will give us more details and will help us make a better decision.
Let's take a look at what this PDA can offer you:

1.This PDA is very light and compact only 4.23 ounces, and only .50 inches thick. It also has a slick appearance which makes it a bit of a fashionable item. If looks and convenience matter to you - this PDA will take care of that part easily.
2.The Windows CE Operating System is great for games and multimedia uses. If you like and use all the entertainment stuff on your PDA, this device will give you a lot value for your money. On the other hand, if you're more of a business man, you may want to get yourself a Palm One device. The Palm OS is much more of a business oriented system.
3.This device has only 1 expansion slot instead of the usual two that come with most iPAQ's. I can only guess this was down in order to keep the price low, but this can be quite a problem if you intend to expand the abilities of your PDA...
4.The Processor of this PDA is a 200 MHz Intel PXA 250 processor. This can work out find to begin with, but may be a problem if you start running too many applications on your PDA. Pay attention to the amount of software you install
5.The build in memory capabiolities are 64 MB RAM, 16 MB flash ROM. Again, this is fine to begin with, but experience shows that within a year or two most people need more and more room. It is possible to purchase and start using a 64MB SD card, so the memory problem can be addressed much easier than the processor.
6.The battery in a Removable/rechargeable 900 mAh Lithium-lon, which is a great battery, according to all reports. It has a very long life span, and can support your iPAQ during hours of operation.

So, to conclude, I would say that the HP iPAQ 1910 Pocket PC is a good buy for people who need a very basic iPAQ, and don't expect to use too much memory and processing power. The cheap price makes this PDA a good alternative to many people who have lower demands from their PDA.
