PDA Guy

by lucidix , Apr 30 '00
Pros: Earphone Jack and USB
Cons: Too costly
The HP Jornada running the new PocketPC offers some nice enhancements over the Windows CE operating system, navigation seems to be a lot easier. On the surface it seems to offer features that go above and beyond PalmOS, but I have my doubts that...

Star Trek Tricorder?

by Megatherium , May 01 '00
Pros: Diverse applications, Microsoft chutzpah
Cons: Expensive
Palm PDA users? You have my attention. That’s saying a lot considering I wrote a review here damning the Palm platform (see “PDA Smackdown”). In my experience the Palm was an eclectic technological toy that wasn’t really useful as a personal...

A Weighty Decision

by Girlina , May 04 '00
Pros: Strong design; great sound
Cons: Expensive, heavy, some usability concerns
The Jornada is the first CE device that I've ever seriously considered buying - but following a serious test-spin, I found it just didn't quite cut it. Weight and high prices still remain insurmountable barriers for the Jornada as well as all the other...

Is That a PC In Your Pocket?

by joeshockley , May 06 '00
Pros: great design, small size, lots of features and bundled software
Cons: Lack of available 3rd party programs
The HP Jornada 545 is an awesome PDA. I recently got to spend some time playing with one of these, and it was love at first site.

The size is just right, being roughly the same as a Palm III (although a little heavier, thanks in part to the...

Pros: fast, loaded with programs, lots of memory
Cons: bulky, pricey
This handheld is the best. I owne one myself, and it runs beautifully. It never lags or freezes, and it is fun to use. Although it is more expensive them the other competetors it still is by far better, and also it is a little heavier and bigger then...

It's Pretty But....

by RichBoston Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, May 09 '00
Pros: Great screen, better than earlier versions
Cons: Everything else
...it's no Palm. There, I said it. I love gadgets but they must qualify for my attention by way of making my life better, being an improvement over whatever I'm currently using that I'm replacing, must be logical (the Mr. Spock in me)and...be fun to...

Die hard Palm user... Until now

by timothyt , May 11 '00
Pros: Handwriting recognition, Audio Books, Great color display, MP3 player, e-books, Excel, Word, Internet Explorer
Cons: Active Matrix screen would have been nice
I have owned a Pilot, a Pro, and a Palm III. The time came for me to make the jump to a better screen (read as: Color) and I was ready to buy the Palm color handheld (around $450) when I came across the Jornada.

I have always hated Windows...

An intelligent, portable assistant

by cccpastor , May 18 '00
Pros: Ease of use, applications, Quick sync time
Cons: At $499 a pop, do your homework first
I am a pastor of a busy, multi-staff church. I have always wanted a device that would allow me to portably manage PIM data as well as manipulate key documents (such as message outlines, budgets, etc.) while on the move. The Jornada does exactly this,...

The perfect palm? Just about...

by mkeppler , May 19 '00
Pros: Thin design, lots of software, hand recognition tools, USB connection
Cons: PocketPC Operating system, Not-so-great stylus
I've been using a HP Jornada 430se for the last 5-6 months and recently needed to take it in for a repair. Since the 430se is a discontinued model, Best Buy gave me a new Jornada 545. Needless to say, I was as giddy as a schoolgirl and left the store...

Interesting gadget

by wolfman224 , May 20 '00
Pros: solid feel, MP3 player, good inetgration with network
Cons: price
I had one of HP's earlier CE devices, so I am kind of biased, I was looking for an all in one device that would let me get my e-mail, sync up my appointments, play MP3 files and more. I looked the newer Palm devices, but they didn't really reach out and...

Jack of all trades, Master of none

by tcervo , May 25 '00
Pros: Flashy
Cons: Too big and heavy, too many useless and hard to use features
The HP Jornada 545 is loaded with features. Unfortunately, it doesn't do any of its many tasks very well. After only two weeks of using it, I returned it to the mega-store (thanks for the 30-day return policy!) I was lured by it's flash and sizzle, but...

by rahulm , May 29 '00
Pros: Color display is amazing, great to use for games, as an organizer, and for work, email and internet connectivity, sleek design
Cons: Error in design limits display to 12bit instead of 16bit, pricy ($499)
About a week ago, I had the joy of finally receiving my Jornada 545, HP's color PDA containing 16MB RAM. The following review has my thoughts on this incredible product. I hope you enjoy!

MUCH better

by heinzelman , Jun 02 '00
Pros: First true desktop extension
Cons: Weight, Price
My first impression was the design of the unit. The rubbered sides and the angled edges makes holding the unit a pleasure. The cover, which is made of metal just as the rest of the unit, was also elegant and very well thought.

The HP Jornada...
