The world of pocket PCs may be overwhelming at times, but one has to make a decision when the time comes to purchase one. The combination of features and brands may make you dizzy, but once you do a little research, it becomes clearer. Let’s take a look at the top three pocket PCs that will give you the most bang for your buck. Your mobile solutions device is right around the corner.
First, let’s look at the expensive, yet sleek HP iPaq. Don’t let this little pocket PC fool you, it’s got a lot under its hood. At three hundred dollars, this thin piece of equipment boasts a 300MHz processor that is deceptively fast. It actually has a slower processor than most pocket PCs out there, but has hidden flash memory that will reduce the lag time on all your applications. It runs pocket PC software like Windows Mobile 5 which is a very user friendly operating system because it’s basically the same thing as Windows on a desktop PC, which many of us are already familiar with. It also includes updated versions of Microsoft Word, Excel, Internet Explorer, and Power Point. It also includes the all-important Windows Media Player 10 which transforms this pocket pc into a music player. It also includes WiFi, but doesn’t have Bluetooth capabilities, which is disappointing to some. The memory on this device is a little scarce so you might want to buy an SD card as well, but the battery life is incredible.
Next, we’ll look at the Dell Axim X51v. This pocket PC is slightly more expensive than the HP, but it’s definitely worth the extra $70. This fine piece of machinery boasts an Intel processor that is twice as fast as the HP model, but doesn’t have the lag reducing flash memory. It does, however, support both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth so all your mobile computing needs are going to be met with this pocket PC. It also runs Windows Mobile 5 and has an even newer Microsoft Office Mobile Suite that trumps that of the HP model. An mp3 player is also included, but the battery life is sub-par.
Last, we take a look at the pioneer of the pocket pc, Palm. These guys are all about innovation and the Palm TX isn’t any different. The important difference between this one and the Dell model is that the Palm TX runs Palm OS instead of Windows which may be challenging at first if you are unfamiliar with the operating system. Other than that, it comes with all the bells and whistles of the other two pocket PCs and is also around three hundred dollars.
Any of these three pocket PCs are a great purchase and will handle all you’re scheduling and mobile needs, but the Dell and the Palm will probably give you more options if you are using it for advanced mobile computing.
