HP iPAQ hx2495 Pocket PC

This is an upgrade for most ipaq users of the 1900 series. It’s a great midrange pda but some application are slow or have problems work. the charger does have some glitches but it can be over come. Over all you can deal with this exp if you load other programs to it. No doubt HP (Compaq?) did a good job translating market needs into a specification. The problem happened when they went into production. This PDA has most of what “mobile professionals” need. Power, speed, connectivity….HP however, missed the boat on the quality dimension. Synchronizing is a problem, Activesync 4.2 is much more unstable and limited than previous versions, thus loosing recently modified information or “forcing you” to create duplicate files in order to retain your changes. Before you know it, you have 3-4 documents for the same file. This isn’t synchronizing anymore, this is…duplicating. Overall the product has more pros than cons, however these quality glitches does detract from the good job made by R&D.
