Rodney Hinson has knowledge on PDA and hand held devices like no other. He is now offering a wide array of best PDA at very reasonable prices. See Rodney today and find out about the HP iPAQ 111 PDA.
Review:
While not terrible, this PDA is a refresh on an existing design. It's a reliable machine, with solid wireless connectivity at WiFi hot spots. It's got a good balance between battery life and heft, it's been refreshed with USB 2.0 connectors (finally), and has a bright, if somewhat too small, screen. (They increased the resolution and shrank the overall dimensions, which is a recipe for eyestrain. Nice additions were adding microphone and headphone jacks. Bluetooth capabilities allow this to tether to a cell phone for cell carrier broadband, and the Bluetooth range and setup is excellent. (The Bluetooth is good enough that we recommend using that to synchronize with rather than the cable.)
What It Should Have Had:
In this day and age where cell phones can get a gigabyte of RAM, 64 MB is downright primitive. Having only a quarter gig of storage space is awful, but remediable with an SD or SDHC card. We really really hated the volume controls for the headphones. That has to be fixed ASAP, because it's way too granular. It's either inaudible or rattles your fillings loose.
The keyboard on this PDA is too small and you have to use the stylus to type. It is very hard to type keys at a time and it takes time to get use to. This PDA should have had a Bluetooth keyboard for easier use.
HP iPAQ 111 Key Features:
*Windows Mobile 6.0
*WiFi Friendly
*Edit Word Documents
*Decent desktop to handheld calendar synchronization.
*624 MHz CPU; 256 MB Flash ROM; 64 MB RAM
Pros and Cons of HP iPAQ 111:
Pros:
*624 MHz processor is very fast
*WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities are excellent
*Battery life is superb
*Well supported by HP
*Automatic brightness adjustments
Cons:
*The machine lags when running more than one application.
*The screen has pixels that are so small as to be unreadable for some
*Like all glossy finish electronic devices, it's a fingerprint magnet.
*Speaker is located at the back of the PDA; the sound is not very pleasant
*Volume control is a disaster.
The PDA market is dying out, and the HP iPAQ 111 is one of the last real PDAs out there that hasn't been morphed into a smart phone. It's got a three year old user interface, and while the hardware has been updated, it's still trying to be too much of a computer on too weak of a CPU. If you already use an iPAQ, this is a worthwhile model to pick up; at some point, this kind of device will be entirely driven by cell phones and mobile internet devices.

This little MP3 player had all the features I need and was fairly inexpensive. My MP3 player review may be a bit biased as this is the only MP3 player I have ever owned.

One does not know when they may need it, especially when traveling to an unknown area or in an emergency. It is even useful for finding local streets that you may not have heard before. Using a GPS device will save you the time and frustration of getting lost, and will guide you to wherever you need to go easily.
