The Gadgeteer Reviews the LOOX 720
Posted by Jonathon Watkins in "HARDWARE" @ 02:30 AM
"When Windows Mobile 2003 SE came out with VGA I thought it was time to take another look at PPC. The popular VGA PPC units hit just a little off-target for me, though. The iPAQ HX4700 and Toshiba e805 were a bit big, but with ok battery life. The Dell X50v and Asus A730w were pleasingly svelte, but reportedly had poor battery life. . . . The Pocket LOOX 720 is a VGA PPC that shares features with the other VGA units – dual expansion, dual wireless, (relatively) ample memory. However, it does this while being on a par with the little guys for size, and packing a whopping 1600mAh battery to go toe to toe with the big guys for battery life. Heck, those crazy FSC engineers even wedged a 1.3 mega pixel camera and consumer IR into this thing."
It seems that yet another reviewer has been overcome by the ample charms of the LOOX 720. Jay from the Gadgeteer switched from a HP Jornada 420 to a Sony CLIÉ TG50 and has now switched back to the LOOX 720. He's produced a comprehensive review with plenty of pictures and suffice to say, he seems to like the device. Just one question: is calling the LOOX 720 The "Honda Accord" of PPCs a compliment or an insult? ;-)
