Business users and consumers alike can find everything they need in the new iPaq hx2750.
The standard operating system, for this unit, is Windows Mobile for Pocket PC (2003 Edition), which provides users with numerous desktop applications (Pocket Word, Excel, Outlook, Internet Explorer, and Windows Media Player) - right at their fingertips. Additionally, HP has integrated ProtectTools, Credant, and VPN- and WEP enhanced security for a higher level of security on your new PDA. The backbones, of the iPaq hx2750, offers stable performance with its Intel 624MHzXscale processor and 128MB RAM, along with WiFi, Bluetooth, and Serial IR connectivity.
HP ensured that there was plenty of memory on this pocket PC, with 192MB of available memory. It doesn’t stop there; however, CompactFlash and SDIO / MMC slots are easily accessible for additional storage. Many PDA’s have short battery life spans, between charges. However HP implemented their SpeedStep and Wireless MMX technologies to prolong battery life, for users. These technologies also increase multimedia performance.
With a 624MHzXscale processor, 128MB RAM, and Microsoft Windows Mobile (Pocket PC 2003 Edition), WiFi, Bluetooth, and Serial IR - your new pocket PC is ready to use, right out-of-the-box. You immediately have access to a number of applications, like Pocket Word, Excel, Outlook, and even Internet Explorer. In addition, Credant software, ProtectTools, VPN- and WEP-enhanced security offer state-of-the-art security, and are ready for use when you open the box.
The price of pocket PC’s are slowly coming down; however, HP has not lowered the sticker, on this model, by much. Standard sticker price, for the iPaq hx2750 is around $549. The sticker price, alone, makes this product primarily available to the business sector rather than to everyday consumers.
Even though there are technologies integrated, into this unit, to help prolong the battery life, a standard full charge would only provide a few hours of power. If everything, including wireless, is turned off, you could stretch the battery life out to about 4 1/2 hours. This being said, the purchase of additional chargers and batteries might be a good place to start if you purchase this phone.
Browsing through different PDA’s, you may notice that the iPaq is a bit bulkier than most. This unit measures around 4.7″ x 3″ x 0.6″ and weighs around 5.8 ounces. Its design was created for durability, stability, and functionality, not to be cute.
Overall, if you’re looking for functionality, and not style, the HP iPaq hx2750 is a great fit - if you can fit it into your budget. The applications, security, and functionality, offered to you through this PDA, is hard to pass up.
