PDA Avenue Reviews iPAQ 1930
Posted by Jason Dunn in "ARTICLE" @ 11:20 AM
We've just learned about the official release of the HP iPAQ 1930, and already PDA Avenue has published a review on it! 8O How's that for speed? Here's their summary of the device - but be sure to check out the full review!
"The handheld packs a lot for its price. While it's far from perfect, many of h1935 'faults' like lack of bluetooth and Flash ROM storage are available with its pricier cousin – the h1940. So when a buyer opted for the lower price of the h1930, he really should have known of the tradeoffs and shouldn't complain about the omissions. Overall, it's a good general purpose handheld. Heavy gaming enthusiasts are better off with the more powerful h2210. Those that need bluetooth and the extra storage should consider the h1940, those that will like to use their handheld as a digital album will be better off with the similarly priced h1910 and its brilliant screen. All others, specially penny pinchers, will be very happy with the h1935. At $199, after rebates, it's one of the lowest priced new color screen handheld. Whether as a first handheld or an upgrade from a lesser one (e.g. Palm Zire), the HP iPAQ h1935 offer acceptable speed and a decent set of features, very good for it's price."
