"A compact Car Cradle with integrated SiRFStar III GPS receiver, built-in speaker, built-in windshield-mount suction cup pocket pc reflects a new innovative move in PDA strategy from HP. The HP iPAQ 1710 is presently the best value priced HP PDA from the new range of iPAQs, specifically engineered to fulfil the role of bargain priced PDA based GPS this is ideal. From it's specifications it is a strategically streamlined version of the very latest handheld computers that is perfect for Satellite Navigation due to its competitive pricing, bottom-based connection port and its portrait and landscape viewing modes."
Well, I've certainly heard great things about the SiRFStar III GPS chip (at least with the GlobalSat BT-338 device). It's too bad that this solution appears to be only sold as a package consisting of both the PDA and the add-on GPS together. Otherwise, this could be a really compelling solution for any rz1710 owners looking to enable themselves with GPS capability. Uhhh... some might even argue that this solution actually turns the rz1710 into a useful PDA. :worried:
