Size Comparison

Figure 7: A comparison shot side-by-side with my HTC Kaiser/AT&T Tilt. The two units are about the same length, with the HP 910c being slightly wider.

Figure 8: Here you can see the significant difference in thickness between the 910c and the Kaiser/Tilt. Granted, the Tilt has a larger screen and a slide out keyboard, but the weight difference gives the 910c a huge advantage in pocket-ability.

Software Included by HP

HP does a good job of providing a suite of additional software with the corporate user in mind. Included in the ROM is:

• HP's Camera application
• ClearVue PDF -- for viewing of PDF files
• HP iPAQ GPS -- for downloading satellite data to get quicker initial fixes
• HP iPAQ Tips -- provides tips on how to use the device each time it is soft reset
• HP Printsmart Mobile
• Remote Desktop Mobile - for Enterprise management of the PDA's software/data/etc.
• Sun Java
• Oberon's Voice Commander -- similar to MS' Voice Command
• Factory Recovery (in Settings) -- hard reset of the device back to out of box condition
• HP Cert Enroller (in Settings)
• Ring Tones (in Settings) -- ringtone manager, similar to the one provided in Phone/Options
• HP Asset Viewer (in Settings) -- provides overview of information about the unit

Figure 9: HP's iPAQ GPS application. Basically, it downloads satellite location data from the Internet in order to help the GPS unit get a location lock quicker.

Figure 10: The included HP PrintSmart Mobile application allows the 910c to queue and manage print jobs on network-connected printers.

Figure 11: The PrintSmart Mobile configuration screen lets you attach available Bluetooth or LAN/WAN network printers.

Figure 12: Oberon's Voice Commander software provides similar voice-recognition capabilities to Microsoft's Voice Command. Both recognize the general 'timbre' of the specific commands available, so there's no need to 'teach' them how to respond to your voice. Oberon's version provides a bit more flexibility in playing music, but lacks the appointment/incoming call announcement features of the Microsoft product. As noted above, Voice Commander has been attached to the top button on the left side of the unit, so you can just press it and say your command.
