PDA Buyer's Guide Reviews the NEC MobilePro 900
Posted by Janak Parekh in "OFF-TOPIC" @ 07:00 PM
I noticed that NEC was in the process of releasing a new Handheld PC at CeBIT America this year, and I was quite impressed: the keys were large enough to make this HPC essentially touch-typeable. Lisa of PDABuyersGuide agrees:
"This is an absolutely great unit for vertical markets, sales force automation and the like. The MobilePro 900 is also the perfect companion to writers on the go who value a true touch typeable keyboard, durability and extreme portability. The processor and memory match high-end Pocket PCs, and the unit can be used on wired and wireless Ethernet networks. This unit is not intended to be a pocketable, carry-anywhere PIM and multimedia device. The NEC is closer to a desktop replacement since it has not only Pocket versions of Word and Excel, but also PowerPoint and Access."
I'm wondering if I should get one of these as a complement to my Pocket PC, to replace my laptop, for rapid note-taking; I'm always looking for solutions to reduce the amount of weight I carry as I trek through the city every day, and I've essentially stopped carrying my laptop for the time being. Oh, the choices!
