BargainPDA's ViewSonic V37 Quick Look
Posted by Jason Dunn in "THOUGHT" @ 12:00 AM
BargainPDA's Barry J. Doyle takes a look at the Viewsonic V37:
"Several months ago, ViewSonic Corp. released its first “V35” model Pocket PC. The fairly successful unit has been enmeshed with mixed reviews and feedback from users. The pluses: thin, lightweight, great screen and competitive pricing. The minuses: plastic casing (a rather new concept at the time of the launch of the V35), that some users said did not “feel” well-constructed. Move ahead to the present (August 2003). many new devices have been released in plastic casing as well. The HP iPAQ 1900, 2200, Dell Axim, etc. Why? Cheaper? Yes. But mainly to make Pocket PC’s lightweight and comfortable in your pocket.
I think users all share different opinions concerning this issue. I have expressed my own questions regarding durability in earlier reviews. Well back to this PPC. The V37 looks almost identical to the V35, but has been updated with a 400MHZ, PXA 255 processor and a slightly better screen. The screen on the V37 seems to have even better color saturation. A real competitor to the almighty iPAQ screens."
