MTekk Review of XDAII/i-mate Backpack
Posted by marlof in "ARTICLE" @ 07:00 AM
Do you ever go hiking, while wearing a heavy daypack? Do you remember the feeling of relief you have the moment you take off that backpack when resting? Well, I'm pretty sure that's how your XDA II or i-mate Pocket PC Phone will feel when you remove the backpack that MTekk has reviewed recently. But just as I still wouldn't go without my daypack on a long hike, Matt M over at MTekk wouldn't go without the backpack on his XDAII.
"The Backpack is quite a clever piece of hardware; the CF slot, extra battery, and video are really handy additions. Nonetheless, it will most certainly not be for everyone. The bulk and awkward size, combined with the inability to fit a case while using it, see to this. The Backpack is certainly useful for professionals on the go who need to deliver Powerpoint presentations; and anyone with a driving need for Compact Flash has pretty much no choice but to go with this. However I’d certainly not be getting it purely for the extended battery life; you will spend most of your time without it connected."
